Anthropic CEO to meet White House chief of staff amid Pentagon AI dispute, Axios reports

April 17 (Reuters) - Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is slated to meet White House chief of staff Susie Wiles on ‌Friday, in a sign of a breakthrough in the ‌artificial intelligence startup's dispute with the Pentagon, Axios reported.

The potential meeting comes as ​U.S. President Donald Trump's administration acknowledges the advanced capabilities of Anthropic's new AI model, Mythos, for its sophisticated cybersecurity defense breaching abilities, according to the report.

White House and Anthropic did not immediately respond to ‌requests for comment. Reuters ⁠could not independently verify the report.

It would be "grossly irresponsible" for the U.S. government to deprive the country ⁠of the technological advantages offered by the new model, suggesting such a move would benefit China, Axios reported, citing a source close ​to the ​negotiations.

Separately, the New York Times' ​DealBook newsletter reported that the ‌Treasury and the State Departments, have asked Anthropic for briefings on and access to Mythos.

Representatives for the Treasury and the State Departments did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Announced on April 7, Mythos is being deployed as part of Anthropic's "Project Glasswing," a ‌controlled initiative under which select organizations ​are permitted to use the unreleased Claude ​Mythos Preview model for ​defensive cybersecurity purposes.

Bloomberg News reported on Thursday that ‌the U.S. government is planning to ​make a version ​of Anthropic's Mythos available to major federal agencies.

Anthropic was discussing Mythos with the Trump administration, co-founder Jack Clark said on ​Monday, even after ‌the Pentagon cut off business ties with the U.S. ​AI lab following a contract dispute.
