In this context, a senior White House official said that there is a possibility of reaching a direct solution with the company’s CEO, Dario Amodei.
A source familiar with the matter continued: “We cannot let the leading models get out of control, it is all about sorting things out with Dario.”
Comments from the White House suggest that the Trump administration may turn last week’s export control directive, which forced Anthropic to disable its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models worldwide, into a starting point for talks rather than a permanent restriction on the company’s models.
The dispute between the company and the Trump administration flared up last week, when Anthropic announced that the Department of Commerce had ordered it to prevent foreign nationals from accessing its models due to national security concerns.
The company disabled the “Fable 5” and “Mythos 5” models globally due to its inability to limit the use of the models to users within America only.
Washington also rejected a request from British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to exempt British citizens and companies from the order, according to The Telegraph.
Anthropic said the government relied on the possibility of a “restriction breach,” which could allow models to identify vulnerabilities in software.
Company officials explained that officials provided only verbal evidence about a limited problem.
“Anthropic” rejected this broad measure, and the company said in a statement after imposing the measures on its high-level models: “We do not agree that the discovery of a limited possibility of breaching restrictions should be a reason to withdraw a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people.”
