00:22Anthropics Mythos 5 and Fable 5 models citing national security concerns. Our reporting
00:28indicates that Anthropic is actively meeting with the Trump administration to restore access but
00:33has suspended the models for now. The move sounded alarms for U.S. allies, many of whom say this

01:01trusted partners that have been vetted by cyber defense authorities while cautioning that the EU
01:07currently lacks that vetting capacity right now. In the meantime, the leaders released a statement
01:13saying they will direct finance ministers and central bankers to pick up the conversation
01:17on the potential risks and rewards of AI.
