as Anthropic faces export restrictions limiting the global availability of its advanced models, multiple Asian AI companies are accelerating efforts to fill the market gap. Chinese cybersecurity firm 360 Security Technology has reportedly launched an AI tool called "Tulongfeng," claiming it can directly compete with Anthropic's high-end model "Mythos." Meanwhile, its more restricted version, "Fable 5," also falls within the scope of relevant export controls.In the same week, Japanese AI startup Sakana AI released a new model named "Fugu," taken from the Japanese word for pufferfish. It is positioned as a frontier model designed for agents. The company stated that the model's capabilities are comparable to Fable 5 and Mythos Preview, and it supports coordinating multi-model calls via API to enable agent orchestration.Sakana AI emphasized that the timing of this release and the U.S. export restrictions are "purely coincidental," but the product's official website still clearly promotes "providing frontier capabilities without the risk of export controls." Company co-founder David Ha stated that future AI development will shift from competition among single large models to "model orchestration systems," adding that "access can disappear at any time, and distributed intelligence is a realistic hedge against the risks of centralization."On the other hand, Chinese 360 founder Zhou Hongyi views AI vulnerability detection capabilities as a "national strategic asset" and warns of the so-called "one-way transparency" risk, where certain entities may monopolize advanced security capabilities.According to reports, the U.S. export restrictions on Anthropic's advanced models have been in place for about two weeks. Against this backdrop, Asian manufacturers are accelerating the launch of local alternatives. Although some companies still emphasize the importance of American models in the Asian market, the trend of differentiation within the regional AI ecosystem has begun to emerge. (TechCrunch)
