Trump officials negotiating access to Anthropic's Mythos despite blacklist

The White House and Anthropic are negotiating access to the AI model Mythos for federal government use despite the Pentagon's efforts to blacklist the company as a supply chain risk. Civilian agencies like the Departments of Energy and Treasury seek Mythos' capabilities for national security, while the Pentagon bars Anthropic from military contracts due to litigation. The Office of Management and Budget is evaluating agency access to Mythos.
