Senior Anthropic technical staff were scheduled to meet with Trump administration officials earlier this week to discuss a ​dispute over foreign access to its most advanced AI ​models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5.

The company last ⁠week disabled access for all users to those models after ​Trump ordered Anthropic to block foreign nationals from accessing them.

Here are ​some of the details from the Axios interview:

When asked if he viewed Anthropic, or its CEO Dario Amodei, as a threat to national security, ​Trump said: “Well, not now, but a week ago, maybe.”

Trump told ​Axios that Amodei responded to the administration’s export control directive “very quickly” and “responsibly.”

Trump and ‌other ⁠G7 leaders met with tech bosses, including Amodei, at a summit in France this week.

Trump did not rule out using emergency powers under the Defence Production Act against Anthropic, according to ​Axios.

“I have the ​power to use ⁠a lot of things,” Trump said of the DPA. “But I’m not sure I have to do ​that.”

Asked to comment on Trump’s interview, an Anthropic ​spokesperson ⁠said: “We are grateful to the administration for their ongoing partnership in working to get this matter resolved as quickly as possible.

We ⁠remain ​committed to working alongside them towards our ​shared goals of protecting critical infrastructure and making sure the US leads in ​AI.”
