Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is scheduled to meet with White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles on Friday, in a sign of a breakthrough in the artificial intelligence startup’s dispute with the Pentagon.
As reported by Axios, the months-long AI standoff is coming to some degree as the U.S. government plans to make a version of Anthropic’s Frontier AI model available to key federal agencies amid concerns that the tool could sharply increase cybersecurity risks.
Additionally, the talks could come as President Donald Trump’s administration recognizes Anthropic’s new AI model, Mythos, for its ability to penetrate advanced cybersecurity defenses.
Axios assumes that it would be “totally irresponsible” for the US government to deprive the US of the technological advantages provided by new models, suggesting that such a step would benefit China.
Announced on April 7th, Mythos is being deployed as part of Anthropic’s “Project Glasswing.” This is a managed effort in which selected organizations are allowed to use unreleased Claude Mythos preview models for cybersecurity defense purposes.
Mythos is one of Anthropic’s latest models, developed as part of the company’s broader AI system called Claude, a rival to OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini.
Previously, bloomberg news reported Thursday that the U.S. government plans to offer a version of Anthropic’s Mythos to key federal agencies.
Co-founder Jack Clark said Monday that Anthropic had been in talks with the Trump administration about Mythos even after the Pentagon severed business ties with the U.S. AI Institute following a contract dispute.
Notably, the move comes as the EU is already in high-stakes negotiations with Anthropic to address cybersecurity concerns.
