**[Anthropic Co-Founder: Discussions with the U.S. Government on the Mythos Model]** BlockBeats News, April 14 — Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark stated on Monday local time that Anthropic is engaging in discussions with the Trump administration regarding its cutting-edge artificial intelligence model, Mythos, despite the Pentagon ceasing business with the company following a contract dispute. A disagreement between Anthropic and the Pentagon over security constraints related to how the military uses its AI tools led the Pentagon to classify Anthropic as a supply chain risk last month, thereby prohibiting the Pentagon and its contractors from using its products. "We have a narrowly defined contract dispute, but I don’t want this to overshadow our strong commitment to national security," Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark said in Washington, "Our position is that the government must understand these technologies… so we are certainly discussing Mythos with them and will also communicate with them regarding subsequent models." The nature and details of the negotiations between Anthropic and the U.S. government, including which agencies are involved, remain unclear.
