Anthropic has sent senior technical staff to Washington, D.C., to meet with Trump administration officials this week in hopes of ironing out issues after the White House raised national security concerns about the company’s top artificial intelligence models, a source close to Anthropic told the Washington Examiner. 

The White House on Friday imposed export restrictions on Anthropic’s Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models after suspicions arose that a group linked to China had accessed the Mythos 5 model. In response, Anthropic took the programs completely offline.
