"The White House described the conversation as 'introductory, productive, and constructive,' saying the three discussed 'opportunities for collaboration, as well as shared approaches and protocols to address the challenges associated with scaling this technology.'"
"If the two sides reach a deal, it will likely exclude the Pentagon entirely, routing Mythos access through civilian agencies that are not party to the original dispute."
"The conflict began in late February when Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth demanded that Anthropic grant the Pentagon unfettered access to its AI models for 'all lawful purposes,' including autonomous weapons systems and domestic surveillance."
"Amodei refused. He has said publicly that Anthropic wants to work with the military, but that AI models are not yet reliable enough for autonomous weapons and that US law has not caught up to protect Americans around AI's use."
Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, met with White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to discuss access to the AI model Mythos. The meeting was described as productive and constructive, signaling a potential resolution to the standoff that began when the Pentagon blacklisted Anthropic. Any agreement would likely exclude the Defense Department, allowing access through civilian agencies. The conflict originated when Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth demanded unrestricted access to Anthropic's AI models, which Amodei refused, citing reliability concerns and legal issues surrounding AI use.
