White House Moves to Give Federal Agencies Anthropic Mythos Access Despite Pentagon Ban
Reuters·high signal
Federal CIO Gregory Barbaccia emailed Cabinet officials that OMB is setting up protections to allow Defense, Treasury, Commerce, DHS, Justice, and State to use Mythos. This contradicts the Pentagon's declaration of Anthropic as a 'supply chain risk' and its order for military contractors to remove Anthropic software. Anthropic is only rolling Mythos out to ~40 organizations due to its autonomous vulnerability-finding capabilities. Multiple sources: Reuters, Bloomberg, Axios, CNBC.
