According to Axios, sources close to Anthropic say the company has sent senior technical staff to Washington for meetings with White House officials, hoping to resolve an export control dispute that forced its most powerful large language models, Mythos and Fable, to be physically taken offline.
Anthropic is moving fast to smooth things over with the Trump administration after safety concerns triggered a full export ban. Despite earlier criticism from White House officials that Anthropic wasn't taking the matter seriously enough, insiders say the company's technical team has actually held multiple virtual meetings with officials since the government first reached out last Friday, June 12. Sources on both sides say everyone is eager to settle this lingering dispute quickly.
