China may have gained access to Mythos

The White House\'s decision to restrict exports of Anthropic\'s AI model \"Mythos\" is reported to reflect concern that a China-linked group may have gained access to it. The Verge reported this on June 14, citing a Semafor report. If the Chinese government accessed \"Mythos 5\" or \"Fable 5,\" it could pose a serious national security risk. The focus is on possible later use, including distillation to train a \"student\" AI and attempt reverse engineering.

Microsoft AI chief says China-style distillation-based open-source models have limits, builds own AI without distillation

Microsoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman criticised the limits of Chinese open-source AI models such as DeepSeek, saying distillation-based approaches lead to a dead end. He described distillation as stuffing other people\'s knowledge into a model and said it can work for task-specific small models but falls behind frontier models in general use. He also said frontier developers do not release the large datasets used for training, making priorities hard to assess.
