Anthropic CEO to Meet White House Chief of Staff Amid Pentagon Dispute, Axios Reports

The White House is also discussing access to Anthropic’s forthcoming model Mythos, which officials say could help test critical software vulnerabilities.

  • The White House continues to engage across industry to protect the United States, with Management and Budget preparing to give agencies access to Mythos for security evaluation.
