White House Moves to Ease Restrictions on Anthropic
The White House is moving to ease tensions with Anthropic, as it drafts a new policy framework that could permit agencies to bypass the firm’s supply chain risk label. This change would make it easier for government bodies to use advanced AI tools, such as Anthropic’s new Mythos AI model.
Reports suggest that a draft order from the White House could help the current administration ease its feud with Anthropic. However, nothing has been finalized yet, as the step shows that the government is exploring ways to move forward without fully changing its earlier stance.
The White House has not issued an official statement yet, and Anthropic has also declined to comment on the new development. Still, this signals possible cooperation between the two parties on AI policy.
Pentagon Dispute and Policy Shift Drive Talks
The Pentagon tagged Anthropic as a supply chain risk in March after the firm refused to remove safeguards that prevent its AI from being used for weapons or to spy on citizens. As a result, the private company was banned from working on government-related projects.
However, recent comments from U.S. President Donald Trump suggest that the ongoing conflict may be easing. He said Anthropic has been “shaping up” after CEO Dario Amodei met with White House officials to discuss the Mythos AI, adding that a deal with the Pentagon was possible.
Notably, Anthropic launched Mythos in early April, calling it its most advanced AI model yet. Experts say the tool can detect cybersecurity flaws faster than most humans, and even suggest ways to exploit them. As a result, policymakers and global banks have expressed both interest and concern in the AI tool.
