TechFlow News, April 30: According to The Wall Street Journal, the White House has signaled its opposition to Anthropic’s plan to expand the usage scope of its AI model, Mythos. Anthropic recently proposed granting access to the Mythos system to approximately 70 additional companies and institutions, bringing the total number of authorized entities to roughly 120. Government officials have explicitly objected to this proposal on security grounds.
Sources familiar with the matter indicated that some White House officials are concerned that Mythos possesses the capability to launch cyberattacks and cause large-scale disruption online, viewing the expansion of access as a security risk. Additionally, some officials have questioned Anthropic’s computing capacity, expressing doubts that the company could simultaneously support a significantly increased number of new users while ensuring effective government use of the system.
Currently, although both sides intend to ease tensions, the disagreement over Mythos access rights remains unresolved.
