# Asian AI startups launch Mythos-like models as Anthropic's export ban drags on

## At a glance

As Anthropic's export ban persists, multiple Asian AI startups are rapidly launching models with Mythos-like capabilities to fill the market gap left by the restriction. These new models approach U.S. frontier performance without compliance risks, potentially causing U.S. AI labs to lose the massive Asian market forever.

## Key points

- Anthropic's export ban continues, Asian startups launch models rivaling Mythos
- New models approach U.S. frontier capabilities without export restrictions
- Large Asian market at stake; U.S. AI labs may permanently lose access

## Full text

New models are launching in Asia that promise Mythos-like capabilities without fear of an export ban. U.S. AI labs may never recover this enormous market.
