The chief executive of artificial intelligence company Anthropic, Dario Amodei, has a scheduled meeting with White House chief of staff Susie Wiles this Friday, according to a report from Axios. The meeting appears to signal possible progress in resolving an ongoing disagreement between the AI company and the Pentagon.
The Trump administration is reportedly recognizing the advanced features of Anthropic’s latest artificial intelligence system, called Mythos, particularly its sophisticated abilities to test cybersecurity defenses, the report indicates.
Neither the White House nor Anthropic provided immediate responses when asked for comment. Reuters was unable to confirm the report independently.
A source familiar with the discussions told Axios it would be “grossly irresponsible” for the United States government to deny the country access to the technological benefits this new system provides, warning that doing so could advantage China.
The Mythos system, which was unveiled on April 7, is currently being used through Anthropic’s “Project Glasswing,” a restricted program that allows certain organizations to test the unreleased Claude Mythos Preview system for protecting against cyber threats.
Bloomberg News reported Thursday that federal officials are planning to distribute a version of Anthropic’s Mythos technology to key government agencies.
Company co-founder Jack Clark confirmed Monday that Anthropic has been in discussions with the Trump administration about Mythos, despite the Pentagon ending its business relationship with the AI company following a contract disagreement.
