U.S. export restrictions on Anthropic's advanced AI models have been in place for two weeks, leading Asian AI companies to expedite the release of local alternatives. Chinese cybersecurity firm 360 has introduced Tulongfeng, an AI tool for vulnerability discovery, as a counterpart to the Mythos series. Meanwhile, Japanese startup Sakana AI has launched Fugu, a model with capabilities comparable to Fable 5 and Mythos Preview, featuring a unified API for multi-model collaboration. The restrictions have spurred rapid development of indigenous AI solutions in China and Japan, despite the continued value of U.S. models in the Asian market. This shift is contributing to a regional divergence in the global AI industry, with an accelerated focus on building autonomous AI infrastructures.
