Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei arrives at White House for talks

WASHINGTON, April 17 (Reuters) - Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei arrived at the White House for talks on Friday amid the artificial intelligence startup's dispute with the Pentagon, according to a Reuters witness.

Amodei's visit comes as U.S. President Donald Trump's administration acknowledges the advanced capabilities ⁠of Anthropic's new AI model, Mythos, for its sophisticated cybersecurity defense breaching abilities.

Announced on April 7, Mythos is being deployed as part of Anthropic's "Project Glasswing," a controlled initiative under which select organizations are permitted to use the unreleased Claude Mythos Preview ⁠model for defensive cybersecurity purposes.

A White House official said earlier on Friday that the Trump administration continues to engage across government and industry, ⁠including working with frontier AI labs to ensure their models help secure software vulnerabilities.

Any new technology ⁠that could be used by the government would require a period of ⁠evaluation for security, the official added.
