Anthropic's Mythos Models Remain Offline Amid Stalled Trump Administration Negotiations
Anthropic's Mythos-class models have now been offline for two weeks following a Friday evening ultimatum from the Trump administration. The company immediately deployed executives to Washington, DC to negotiate, but updates have been notably absent, with Anthropic declining to comment multiple times this week, stating there was "no news to share."
The situation remains unresolved after 14 days of what sources describe as high-intensity negotiations. It remains unclear when—or if—Anthropic's most powerful AI models will return to service. The lack of communication from both parties has left industry observers without clarity on the ultimate outcome of the talks or whether President Trump's initial order could potentially be expanded to affect other AI companies or models.
The prolonged outage represents a significant development in the ongoing tension between major AI laboratories and government regulators over the deployment of advanced AI systems.
