On April 28 (local time), Axios, a U.S.-based online media outlet, reported that the White House has decided to revisit its use of Anthropic's artificial intelligence (AI) model and is preparing a draft executive order. There had previously been conflicts over the scope of AI adoption, which even led to sanctions.

According to the report, the White House is working on guidelines to resolve the issue of the Department of Defense designating Anthropic as a "supply chain risk" company in February, and to allow the introduction of new models, including "Claude Mythos," Anthropic's latest AI model, which was recently distributed on a limited basis to major companies and institutions.

Signs that the White House is seeking to improve its relationship with Anthropic have already emerged. On April 17, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles held a meeting with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei.

In addition, the White House plans to convene multiple companies to inform them about potential administrative actions and best practices related to the distribution of Mythos.

Anthropic has been a leading AI company whose Claude model was used by the U.S. government, including for classified work by the Department of Defense. However, it clashed with the Trump Administration over issues such as large-scale surveillance and the potential use of autonomous lethal weapons in the United States.

In February, the Department of Defense designated Anthropic as a supply chain risk company, and President Donald Trump issued a directive prohibiting all government agencies from using Anthropic products. Anthropic subsequently filed a lawsuit in response.

Despite these conflicts, federal agencies are competing to gain access to Mythos. The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) is also utilizing Mythos.
