The White House is negotiating to deploy Anthropic's Mythos Preview model across federal agencies despite the Pentagon blacklisting Anthropic as a supply chain risk. Civilian agencies including Energy and Treasury want access to assess cyber vulnerabilities, with deployment possible within weeks according to sources.

Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark confirmed the company briefed the Trump administration on its Mythos model, which the company says is too dangerous for public release due to powerful cybersecurity capabilities. The briefing occurred despite Anthropic's ongoing lawsuit against the Department of Defense over AI system access restrictions.
