White House meets Anthropic CEO as US seeks Mythos access for agencies

technology artificial intelligence cybersecurity internet

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is scheduled to meet with White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles on Friday. The meeting comes ahead of the release of Mythos, the company's latest frontier AI model, as the Trump administration seeks wider US government access to the technology.

Federal agencies have requested access to the tool, referred to as Claude Mythos Preview. According to Anthropic, the model can rapidly identify and potentially create new cyberthreats, with the ability to identify and exploit thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities across every major operating system and browser.

Anthropic has limited the release of Mythos due to concerns that hackers could use the AI to sabotage networks or steal data. Similarly, the US government is preparing to make a version of the model available to major federal agencies amid concerns that the tool could sharply increase cybersecurity risks.

This negotiation follows Anthropic’s blacklisting by the Pentagon, which occurred after Amodei refused to remove safety measures from the system.
