What Happened

Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark confirmed the company briefed the Trump administration about its Mythos AI model, which remains unreleased due to powerful cybersecurity capabilities. Despite suing the Department of Defense over supply-chain risk labeling, Anthropic maintains it engages with government on national security matters. Clark downplayed the dispute as narrow and emphasized the need for private-public AI partnerships. Reports indicate Trump officials encouraged banks to test Mythos.
