White House Considers New Guidelines to Ease Tensions with Anthropic

The White House is reportedly drafting guidelines that would allow agencies to bypass supply chain risk assessments for Anthropic and introduce new models, including Mythos. According to Jin10, a draft executive measure is being prepared to offer the government a way to mitigate conflicts with Anthropic. A source described the White House's efforts as a means to save face while bringing them back into cooperation. Earlier this month, White House Chief of Staff Wiles and Treasury Secretary Besant met with Anthropic CEO Dario, with both parties calling the initial talks productive and discussing potential collaboration between the company and the government. This week, the White House is convening industry companies to provide input on potential executive actions and best practices for deploying Mythos. These meetings include a 'test reading' of possible guidance documents that may retract the Office of Management and Budget's previous directive prohibiting government use of Anthropic.
