Trump: Anthropic No Longer Considered a National Security Threat
Odaily Planet Daily News: U.S. President Trump stated that after a meeting during the G7 summit with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, the company is no longer viewed as a national security threat.
Previously, the two sides had disagreements over the severity of "jailbreak" vulnerabilities in the Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 models. On June 12, the U.S. Department of Commerce imposed export control measures restricting foreign technical personnel's access to related models. Subsequently, the White House, the U.S. Department of Commerce, and the Office of the National Cyber Director engaged in multiple rounds of communication with Anthropic regarding large model security standards, and began establishing a technical framework to assess model vulnerability risks and the boundaries of government intervention.
Trump stated that Anthropic has actively cooperated with rectification requirements and emphasized that the current primary task of the United States remains maintaining a competitive advantage over China in the field of artificial intelligence, without hoping to restrict the development of the domestic AI industry by shutting down or taking over companies. However, he also noted that, if necessary, emergency executive powers such as the Defense Production Act would not be ruled out for regulation.
As of June 2026, Anthropic's annualized recurring revenue had reached $47 billion, with a valuation of approximately $965 billion, and it has filed for an IPO. (Axios)
