White House Facilitates Federal Access to Mythos AI
The White House is preparing a draft guidance to facilitate federal agencies‘ access to Anthropic’s latest AI model, Mythos. Despite Pentagon restrictions, this step aims to meet the demand for the companys technologies in cybersecurity and defense. White Houses Mythos Access Guidance Draft Trump administration officials are seeking ways to overcome Anthropics “supply chain risk” label, while agencies want the model especially for critical infrastructure protection. According to Axios citing multiple sources, the draft executive order could reintegrate the company into the system without putting the administration in a difficult position. This development comes right after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodeis meetings with White House Chief Advisor Susie Wiles and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. The guidance aims to strengthen national defense against cyber threats by enabling federal agencies to securely integrate Mythos. Pentagon Restrictions and Trumps Criticism of Anthropic In February, the Pentagon flagged Anthropic as a supply chain risk, and Trump ordered its immediate cessation of use on Truth Social, calling the company “radical leftist.” A six-month transition period was granted to federal agencies, with plans to completely remove the technology. The root of the disagreement is Amodei‘s rejection of the Pentagon’s demand for unlimited access and Anthropics limits on surveillance and autonomous weapons
