UK AI minister Kanishka Narayan said on Monday in London the UK has worked
closely with the US to ensure the UK's AI Safety Institute can continue to
secure pre-release testing access to the most powerful AI models. Reports last
month said the Trump administration had asked OpenAI and ANTHROPIC to pause
providing models to the UK until US authorities first deemed them safe. Earlier
this year the US government barred ANTHROPIC from releasing its latest model to
foreign citizens. Reports also said ANTHROPIC did not provide the latest version
of its powerful MYTHOS model to the UK AI Safety Institute and offered no
explanation.
