"The Mythos issue ... is a separate national security moment. We have to make sure our networks are hardened up because that model has capabilities that are particular to finding cyber vulnerabilities and patching them."
"With Anthropic, they're a supply chain risk. From a national security standpoint, you always have to look at those things."
"The NSA and Commerce evaluates all frontier models, including Chinese frontier models, to see what the capabilities are at the edge."
The Pentagon's CTO, Emil Michael, reaffirmed that Anthropic is still considered a supply chain risk and is not being integrated into Department of Defense systems. Despite some government agencies accessing Mythos for evaluation, Michael emphasized that this does not indicate a shift in policy. He highlighted the importance of securing networks against vulnerabilities that models like Mythos can identify. The administration's stance remains cautious, focusing on model analysis rather than operational deployment of Anthropic's technology.
