Dario Amodei, chief executive of Anthropic, arrived at the White House on Friday, April 17, to hold discussions as the artificial intelligence company navigates a recent contract dispute with the Pentagon, according to a witness who observed his visit.
The timing of Amodei's visit coincides with growing recognition inside the administration of the advanced capabilities of Anthropic's newly announced model, Mythos. Officials have acknowledged the model's capacities for sophisticated defensive cybersecurity tasks, prompting further conversations between the company and government representatives about how the technology might be used to secure software vulnerabilities.
Anthropic has not immediately replied to a request for comment about the White House visit.
Amodei is scheduled to meet with White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, according to earlier reports. The meeting follows Anthropic's April 7 unveiling of Mythos and the company's decision to deploy the model under a controlled program called Project Glasswing. Under that initiative, select organizations are allowed to use the unreleased Claude Mythos Preview model specifically for defensive cybersecurity purposes.
A White House official said on Friday that the administration continues to engage with both government and industry stakeholders, including AI research labs, to ensure emerging models can help identify and remediate software vulnerabilities. The official added that any new technology that the government might adopt would undergo a period of evaluation for security before wider use.
Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark has said that the company was in discussions with the administration about Mythos, even after the Pentagon severed business ties amid a contract dispute.
