Trump White House prefers Anthropic co-founder over CEO for AI model talks

The Trump administration is reportedly frustrated with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's engagement regarding the re-release of the Claude Fable 5 AI model. Sources indicate that Amodei's co-founder, Tom Brown, has taken over discussions with the White House, as administration officials find him more amenable to their concerns about jailbreaking and model capabilities. The export controls on Anthropic's powerful models, including Mythos, were imposed on June 12 due to security concerns, and the administration is seeking specific criteria from Anthropic to potentially lift these restrictions. Lawmakers have also inquired about the process and timeline for restoring public access to the model. AI
