AI BriefingAsian AI Startups Release Mythos-Class Models
Key point
Amid U.S. export restrictions, Japan's Sakana AI and China's 360 have responded by launching high-performance AI models.
Details
As the U.S. government's export restrictions on Anthropic Mythos and Fable 5 continue, major AI companies in Asia have unveiled new models in response.
Sakana AI, a Tokyo-based startup, has released Fugu, a frontier-class model capable of competing with Anthropic's models. Fugu is optimized for Agent design that orchestrates the APIs of multiple models, aiming to provide Japanese businesses and government agencies with an alternative that reduces the risk of U.S. export restrictions.
China's security firm 360 has introduced two AI security tools:
- Tulongfeng: a tool that automatically detects software vulnerabilities
- Yitianzhen: a tool that automates cyber defense and incident response
David Ha, co-founder of Sakana AI, pointed out that dependence on a single provider can become a risk to national infrastructure, and predicted that Orchestration Models, which coordinate multiple models, will become the next frontier.
