Talks between Anthropic and Trump administration officials continued Monday without a deal to resolve the security concerns that pushed the White House to restrict access to the artificial-intelligence company’s latest model, increasing urgency on both sides to find a resolution.
After the Trump administration said foreign governments, companies and many individuals were prohibited from accessing the model, called Fable 5, on Friday, Anthropic shut down access for all users to comply with the new rule.
It did the same for Mythos 5, a more powerful model also covered by the restrictions.
The longer the models are offline, the more pressure builds on Anthropic and the White House—which earlier feuded over acceptable military use of AI—to find a compromise.
The latest talks about Fable on Monday included senior Anthropic technical staff and were led by the Commerce Department and National Cyber Director Sean Cairncross.
Anthropics spokesman said in the company’s first public comments since Friday, “This follows numerous virtual meetings we have held with the government since the administration’s initial outreach. Both parties are working quickly to get this resolved,”
Anthropic prides itself on responsible development of AI and is one of the few tech companies that has challenged the Trump administration on AI policy.
