Anthropic’s Dario Amodei to meet with White House about Mythos

CNBC confirmed that Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei met with White House chief of staff Susie Wiles on Friday to discuss the company’s powerful new Mythos model, which was announced earlier this month; This confirmed that the standoff between the government and the leading AI company has been resolved.

President Donald Trump blacklisted the company, calling it a national security risk and his administration’s “don’t do business with them again“

According to Anthropic, Mythos is good at detecting weaknesses and security flaws in software, and the company said it is in “ongoing discussions” with U.S. government officials about its capabilities. Anthropic is rolling out the model to a select group of companies as part of a new cybersecurity initiative and has no plans to disclose it publicly.

Anthropic declined to comment. Axios was: first to report meeting.

Just weeks ago, Anthropic and the Trump administration were firmly out. Anthropic has sued the government to reverse its blacklisting in courts in San Francisco and Washington, D.C., and those lawsuits are ongoing.

The lawsuits follow several weeks of dramatic negotiations between the Defense Department and Anthropic, which clashed over how the agency could use the company’s models. While the Department of Defense wanted Anthropic to give the Pentagon unrestricted access to its models for all lawful purposes, it wanted assurances that Anthropic’s technology would not be used for fully autonomous weapons or domestic mass surveillance.

Talks stalled, and the Department of Defense declared Anthropic a supply chain risk in early March; This means the claim that the use of the company’s technology threatens US national security. The label requires defense contractors to certify that they are not using Anthropic’s Claude AI models in their work with the military.
