Key point

The US administration is softening its hardline blacklist stance on Anthropic.

Details

The Trump administration is rapidly softening its hardline stance on Anthropic.

Even after February's full usage-suspension order, the White House and some departments are reviewing plans to reuse Anthropic's Mythos for cyber vulnerability detection. OMB has indicated that a revised version of Mythos may soon be permitted.

Official signals have also shifted.

  • The Department of Justice requested a pause on the government's appeal.
  • The White House sent a friendly message after a meeting with Anthropic.
  • Trump praised Anthropic executives on CNBC and left open the possibility of a deal.

However, the Pentagon's supply chain risk designation and the related lawsuit remain in place. Even so, the weight within the White House is shifting toward resolving the conflict with Anthropic.
