Anthropic-White House AI Model Talks Improve After Leadership Change
Anthropic, led by CEO Dario Amodei, faced a US government directive to block foreign access to its Mythos 5 and Fable 5 AI models, leading to a company-wide access ban. Initial talks with the White House to reverse the ban saw limited progress, reportedly due to difficulties in communication with Amodei. Since Amodei stepped back, negotiations led by co-founder Tom Brown and head of public policy Sarah Heck have reportedly improved, with officials finding the new team more receptive.
