White House Plans to Restart Cooperation with Anthropic, Allowing Agencies to Bypass Supply Chain Risk Assessments

The White House is formulating guidelines to allow agencies to bypass supply chain risk assessments for Anthropic and introduce new models like Mythos. This draft administrative measure may provide a way for the government to ease conflicts with Anthropic, described as 'saving face while getting them back.'

Earlier this month, White House Chief of Staff Wiles and Treasury Secretary Besant met with Anthropic CEO Dario, with both sides calling the talks productive. This week, the White House is convening industry companies to seek opinions on potential administrative actions and best practices for Mythos deployment, including 'test reads' of guidance documents that may reverse the earlier Office of Management and Budget directive banning government use of Anthropic.
