The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that G7 leaders are considering allowing select "trusted partners" access to advanced artificial intelligence models from U.S. firms like Anthropic, potentially bypassing restrictions on non-American use, according to unnamed diplomatic sources. A Reuters dispatch to The Globe reports that Anthropic has disabled access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its advanced AI models, following President Donald Trump's order to restrict foreign nationals from accessing them due to national-security concerns. One of the diplomatic sources said a number of country representatives attending the annual G7 meeting discussed the idea of widening access to advanced AI models with U.S. representatives. This was mainly with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, on the sidelines of the opening G7 summit dinner on Monday. The "trusted partners" could be countries or companies, said a second source. An agreement providing broader access to advanced models would allow G7 countries to use the models to develop stronger cybersecurity defences against rivals such as China. AI executives from Anthropic, OpenAI and Google will attend a working lunch on Wednesday to speak about technology issues.
