BlockBeats News, April 14th - Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark said on Monday local time that Anthropic is in discussions with the Trump administration regarding its advanced artificial intelligence model Mythos, despite the Pentagon ceasing business with the company following a contract dispute.

Disagreements between Anthropic and the Pentagon over security constraints on how the military can use its AI tools led the Pentagon to label Anthropic as a supply chain risk last month, thereby prohibiting the Pentagon and its contractors from using its products. "We have a narrow contractual dispute, but I don't want this to affect our high priority on 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 about future models." The nature and details of negotiations between Anthropic and the U.S. government, including which agencies are involved, are currently unclear.
