NSA Using Mythos Preview Despite Anthropic Risk Label
Sources say NSA and DoD are using Mythos Preview even after Anthropic was flagged as a supply chain risk.
The NSA is running Mythos Preview, and sources indicate it's also seeing widespread use across the Department of Defense. That's notable because Anthropic has been designated a supply chain risk.
The DoD moved in February to sever ties with Anthropic and pushed its vendors to do the same. Yet adoption of Mythos Preview apparently continued regardless.
The disconnect is striking. One arm of the defense establishment flagged the company as a risk. Other parts kept using its product anyway.
No official statements have clarified how the continued use squares with the February directive. The situation raises questions about how effectively supply chain risk designations are enforced across the sprawling U.S. defense apparatus.
