Scoop: Anthropic flies staff to D.C. to clean up White House fight

ai

Anthropic is sending senior technical staff to Washington this week to meet with White House officials — a move the company hopes will resolve a growing regulatory dispute. The flashpoint: the Trump administration has imposed export controls on Anthropic's most advanced models, Mythos and Fable, citing safety concerns. According to Axios, both sides have signaled they want to find common ground, though administration officials have complained that Anthropic hadn't engaged seriously at first. The company's already held virtual meetings since Friday, and these in-person talks underscore how seriously both sides are now treating the issue.
