The NSA is using Anthropic's restricted Mythos model while the Pentagon maintains Anthropic as a supply-chain risk, creating operational contradictions for contractors caught between conflicting directives. Meanwhile, Germany pushes for industrial AI exemptions from EU regulations ahead of August deadlines, and economists push back against AI labor displacement forecasts that data doesn't yet support.

The NSA is using Anthropic's restricted Mythos model while the Pentagon still calls the company a supply-chain risk. Plus Merz pushes an industrial AI carve-out before the EU AI Act's August deadline, and LeCun tells Amodei to leave labor forecasts to economists.
The NSA reportedly uses Anthropic's restricted Mythos model while the Pentagon labels Anthropic a supply-chain risk, creating an internal Defense Department contradiction. The split follows Anthropic's refusal to remove restrictions on mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. How the NSA uses Mythos remains unclear, though other users mainly scan for vulnerabilities.

White House officials met with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei to discuss civilian agency access to Claude Mythos while Pentagon blacklist litigation continues. Chief of Staff Wiles and Treasury Secretary Bessent's participation signals potential workaround: defensive AI capabilities for civilian departments without resolving military-use disputes.

Anthropic's White House meeting did not erase the Pentagon blacklist. It carved around it. Wiles, Bessent and Amodei are now testing whether civilian agencies can get Mythos while the military fight stays in court and the clock runs against defenders.
