While the U.S. government and Anthropic continued trying to make up and be friends again, the rest of the AI world didn't stop. And it was actually some smaller players that were making big splashes this week, potentially signaling more competition at the top for the big four of Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and Microsoft. That's because open source may finally be having its chat GPT moment as a new Chinese model might actually be closing the gap between proprietary U.S. models and open source or open weight options. Oh, and Midjourney made some news as well. Yeah, that Midjourney that you probably haven't heard from in years. That's because they may be trying to disrupt the medical imaging space or yeah there's a lot going on if you don't follow every single day and don't worry i do that for you so welcome to everyday ai and this is our monday segment where we bring you only the most relevant news updates i tell you what matters what doesn't and how you can use that information to grow your company and career this is everyday ai so if you're new here yeah we do this every single day daily

We recap the highlights from today's show, as well as give you all the other AI news you need to know just in a quick, digestible form. All right. So without further ado, let's go over the biggest stories of the week that you might have missed. And I'm going to break it down for you simply. All right. Let's start at the top because yes, at least at the time of this recording, we still don't have access to Fable 5 or Mythos 5 at whole.
That's because the Trump White House and Anthropic are still trying to make things work. So Actually, a little bit of a controversial statement, maybe, from President Trump as he told the Axios show on Friday that he considered Anthropic previously and or its CEO, Dario Amati, to be a national security threat, though he now believes this situation is improving. Yeah, he did say that. You might go on to listen to the interview yourself. We'll be linking it in today's newsletter, but he definitely say that he considered them a few weeks ago, whether he was talking about Anthropic as a whole or Dario Amati, to be a national security threat, though it's now he says it's improving. So the U.S. government, if you haven't been following along, the U.S.
government recently imposed strict export controls on Anthropic, barring any country outside of the U.S. and foreign nationals within the U.S. from accessing Anthropic's most recent models called Fable 5 and Mythos 5. So Anthropic has completely disabled in response to that. They disabled public access to those models, Fable 5, which is the version of Mythos 5 with more guardrails. So yeah, but it's been down and gone now for almost a week since that export control. So the directive bars any foreign nationals, including foreign national Anthropic employees from accessing these frontier systems. But because Anthropic can't instantly verify the exact citizenship of every single user on its platform, it was forced to yank both those models offline.
globally to remain compliant, and that's been about a week. So according to Axios in this new interview and story, the Trump administration's concerns were triggered by the Amazon report detailing the vulnerability in anthropics technology, right? And a lot of reports said that was their CEO, Andy Jassy, and that led to the urgent discussions with the company leadership. Trump said he was initially alarmed by Anthropic's response, but was reassured after Amodi acted quickly and responsibly, calling him nice and smart after meeting him at the G7 summit this past week.
