Anthropic Co-Founder Confirms Briefing Trump Administration on Mythos Model's National Security Implications
Jack Clark, co-founder of Anthropic, confirmed that the company briefed the Trump administration on its new AI model, Mythos. The model, which has not been released to the public due to its powerful cybersecurity capabilities, was discussed with the administration to address national security concerns. Despite a lawsuit filed by Anthropic against the Department of Defense over being labeled a supply-chain risk, the company continues to engage with the government. The Mythos model is capable of identifying and exploiting cybersecurity vulnerabilities, prompting discussions with U.S. officials and industry stakeholders. The briefing aimed to ensure that the government is aware of the model's potential impacts on national security.
