The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is reportedly using Anthropic's AI model Mythos to scan government software for vulnerabilities, despite ongoing disputes between the Pentagon and Anthropic over AI safeguards. The scans have already identified numerous bugs.
Court documents reveal Anthropic's dispute with the Pentagon over AI use. CEO Dario Amodei set redlines against autonomous weapons and mass surveillance, but the Pentagon insisted on "all lawful uses." The disagreement escalated, leading to Anthropic being labeled a "supply-chain risk."
Green infrastructure projects in Southeast Asia face uncertainty due to a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which has disrupted aluminium supplies following Iranian attacks on Middle Eastern smelters. Aluminium prices have surged, with significant production losses expected.
The White House is developing guidance that could allow federal agencies to bypass Anthropic's supply-chain risk designation and onboard new AI models, including Mythos, Axios reported. A draft executive action could give the Trump administration a way to resolve tensions with Anthropic, which faced Pentagon fallout after refusing to remove AI guardrails against autonomous weapons and domestic surveillance.
Despite recently being designated a supply-chain risk by the Pentagon, Anthropic is still talking to high-level members of the Trump administration.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Fed Chair Jerome Powell encouraged top bank executives to use Anthropic's new AI model, Mythos, to identify security vulnerabilities, with several major banks reportedly testing the technology.
