Summary
Anthropic, an AI company that had been in conflict with the Trump administration over its refusal to allow its technology to be used for domestic mass surveillance or fully autonomous lethal weapons, may be improving its relationship with the government through its new cybersecurity-focused AI model called Claude Mythos Preview. The administration had previously criticized Anthropic as a 'radical left, woke company,' but the new cybersecurity capabilities appear to be changing the dynamic between the company and the Pentagon.
