White House drafts guidance to bypass Anthropic's risk flag for new AI models: Report

The White House is developing guidance that could allow federal agencies to sidestep Anthropic's supply-chain ‌risk designation ⁠and ⁠onboard new artificial intelligence models, including Mythos, Axios reported on Tuesday.

A draft executive action, which is currently in the works, could give the Trump administration a ⁠way to ‌dial down the fight with Anthropic, the Axios ⁠report said, citing two sources.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report.


This development comes as Anthropic faced a fallout with the Pentagon earlier in the year after the startup ‌refused to remove guardrails against using its AI for autonomous weapons ⁠or domestic surveillance, and the department designated the Claude-maker as a supply-chain risk.

The White House and Anthropic did not immediately respond to a Reuters' request for comment.
