The White House and Anthropic are reportedly in discussions about deploying Anthropic's new model, Mythos Preview, within the federal government. This comes despite efforts by the Pentagon to blacklist Anthropic as a supply chain risk. The company is currently barred from Pentagon contracts but can do business with the rest of the government while the case continues. Despite this, even U.S. officials believe that Anthropic is developing tools that could aid national security or harm it if they fall into the wrong hands. The Office of Management and Budget has responded to queries about whether agencies can use Mythos. However, there are ongoing discussions with Anthropic and agencies may get access to Mythos in the coming weeks.
