Asian AI startups launch Mythos-like models as Anthropic's export ban drags on
Summary
Asian AI vendors are launching new frontier models as U.S. export controls limit access to Anthropic’s systems in Asia. Sakana AI introduced Fugu, a model aimed at Japanese businesses and government agencies that need frontier AI without exposure to tightening export restrictions. China’s 360 also unveiled tools for vulnerability discovery and cyber defense, positioning AI security software as a strategic capability. The launches highlight how local software vendors are moving quickly to fill gaps in enterprise and public-sector demand. These releases could accelerate evaluation of non-U.S. AI platforms and security tooling across the region.
