Anthropic has been in talks with the Trump administration about its new AI model, Claude Mythos Preview, despite the Pentagon designating it as a supply-chain risk, co-founder Jack Clark said on April 13.
The designation, which prevents Anthropic from doing business with the government and its contractors, followed the company’s refusal to grant the Pentagon unrestricted access to its Claude models due to concerns they could be used for mass domestic surveillance or fully autonomous weapons. The Pentagon has said it does not intend to use Claude for such purposes.
