Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is meeting with Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff, on Friday to discuss the company’s powerful new Mythos model that was announced earlier this month, CNBC confirmed, a thaw in the standoff between the government and leading AI company.
Anthropic appears to be inching back into the White House’s good graces, weeks after President Donald Trump blacklisted the company and called it a national security risk, declaring that his administration would “not do business with them again.”
Mythos excels at identifying weaknesses and security flaws within software, according to Anthropic, and the company said it has been engaging in “ongoing discussions” with U.S. government officials about its capabilities. Anthropic is rolling the model out to a select group of companies as part of a new cybersecurity initiative, and does not have plans to release it publicly.
Anthropic declined to comment. Axios was first to report the meeting.
