US Security Agency Adopts Anthropic AI Amid Pentagon’s ‘Supply Chain Risk’ Warning
Anthropic limited access to about 40 organizations as the model drew interest for cybersecurity uses and deepened conflict with the Defense Department.
- According to Axios, the National Security Agency is using Anthropic's Mythos Preview despite internal resistance from the Department of Defense, with sources indicating it is 'being used more widely within the department.'
- The Department of Defense banned Anthropic's tools in February, labeling the company a 'supply chain risk' during contract talks. Anthropic sued the government in March, challenging this designation in multiple courts.
- Anthropic unveiled Mythos Preview in early April as a language model 'strikingly capable at computer security tasks.' Access remains limited to roughly 40 organizations due to concerns regarding potential misuse.
- White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently met with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei to discuss deployment. The White House later termed the meeting 'productive and constructive.'
- President Trump claimed he had 'no idea' about the meeting when asked by reporters, as the broader legal dispute remains unresolved. Counterparts in the United Kingdom are accessing similar capabilities through national AI security initiatives.
