White House to grant US agencies access to Anthropic Mythos model

April 16, 2026 · High importance · policy

The White House is planning to make a version of Anthropic’s frontier Mythos model available to major federal agencies under controlled protections, despite cybersecurity concerns. Mythos is currently deployed only via Project Glasswing for defensive purposes. It matters because it resolves internal government tensions on testing and using restricted frontier AI for national security while maintaining safeguards.
