"Anthropic is currently barred from Pentagon contracts but can do business with the rest of the government while the case continues. 'There's progress with the White House. There's not progress with [the Department of] War,' a administration official said."
"'The government has a responsibility to evaluate every model to see where the frontier of tech is,' but accused Anthropic of using 'fear tactics' by issuing warnings of how Mythos could supercharge hacking."
"'All the intel agencies use Anthropic. Every agency except War wants to. That's because Anthropic doesn't want to kill people and War's position is 'don't tell us what the f*** to do.'"
Anthropic is limiting the rollout of Mythos to select companies and organizations to evaluate its cyber capabilities. Government agencies are interested in accessing Mythos, and discussions are ongoing with the White House. Despite litigation with the Pentagon, Anthropic can still engage with other government sectors. Officials express concerns about Anthropic's warnings regarding Mythos, suggesting they may be using fear tactics to gain favor. Various agencies, particularly those focused on national security, are eager to utilize Mythos to enhance their defenses against cyber threats.
