President Donald Trump says negotiations with AI firm Anthropic are progressing, but access to the company’s most advanced models remains suspended amid ongoing security concerns.
President Donald Trump has struck an optimistic tone over talks with artificial intelligence company Anthropic, saying negotiations are “going fine” even as the shutdown of the firm’s most advanced AI models stretches on.
As The Wall Street Journal reports, the discussions took place on the sidelines of the G7 summit in France, where world leaders and top AI executives gathered to discuss the future of the rapidly evolving technology. The talks centre on restrictions imposed by the Trump administration over concerns about the security risks posed by Anthropic’s powerful Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models.
The dispute began after the administration moved to restrict access to the models, prompting Anthropic to suspend availability for users while both sides seek a resolution. Officials argue the measures are necessary for national security, while critics warn the move could disrupt international cooperation on AI development and governance.
Despite the ongoing standoff, Trump expressed confidence that progress is being made. However, no agreement has yet been announced, leaving users and industry observers waiting to see when the models might return online.
