The White House has expressed opposition to Anthropic’s plan to expand access to its advanced AI model, Mythos, according to multiple reports. The company had proposed allowing around 70 additional organizations to use Mythos, which would raise total access to about 120 entities. However, U.S. officials reportedly raised concerns over national security risks, noting that the model is capable of identifying and potentially exploiting serious software vulnerabilities. Another key issue is computing capacity, with officials worried that Anthropic may not have enough infrastructure to support wider access without impacting government usage of the system. Mythos has been kept under limited deployment due to its powerful cybersecurity-related capabilities. The dispute highlights growing tension between innovation in frontier AI systems and government oversight focused on security and infrastructure stability, especially as AI models become more powerful and widely integrated into critical systems.
