On June 24, 2026, Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama announced in Tokyo that while Japan is currently unable to utilize Anthropic's Mythos model, there is a possibility that access could be reinstated in the near future. Earlier in the month, Anthropic temporarily halted access to its most sophisticated AI models, including Mythos, in compliance with an executive order from the Trump administration. This order aimed to restrict all foreign nationals from accessing such advanced technology, reflecting a broader stance on technological security and control.
