White House Plans to Resume Cooperation with Anthropic

Odaily reported that according to sources familiar with the matter, the White House is developing guidance that would allow agencies to bypass the supply chain risk designation for Anthropic and introduce new models, including Mythos. A draft executive measure currently being prepared may provide a pathway for the government to ease tensions with Anthropic. One source described the White House's efforts as "trying to save face while bringing them back into the fold." Earlier this month, White House Chief of Staff Wiles and Treasury Secretary Bessent met with Anthropic CEO Dario, with both sides calling it a productive initial discussion on how the company and the government can cooperate. This week, the White House is convening companies from various industries to seek input on potential executive actions and best practices for deploying Mythos. These meetings include "dry runs" of possible guidance documents, which could withdraw the Office of Management and Budget's previous directive barring the government from using Anthropic. (Axios)
