US restricts Anthropic's 'Mythos-class' AI, Zhipu AI releases open-weight GLM-5.2

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

In June 2026, Anthropic's most advanced model, internally known as Fable and classified as "Mythos-class," was restricted by the US government due to national security concerns. This action, which blocked API access without warning, prompted Zhipu AI to release GLM-5.2, a fully open-weight frontier model with a 1 million token context window. The incident highlights a growing tension between AI development and national security, pushing developers to explore open-weight alternatives for critical applications. AI

IMPACT This event signals a potential shift towards government regulation of advanced AI models, pushing developers towards open-weight alternatives for greater autonomy.
