The Trump administration<\/span> has been happier talking to Anthropic lately, according to people familiar with the matter: They don\u2019t have to deal with CEO Dario Amodei anymore, because he\u2019s been replaced in meetings about re-releasing the Claude Fable 5 AI model by his cofounder Tom Brown.<\/p>\n

\u201cTom Brown is not being a weirdo like Dario and can actually engage,\u201d said one person directly familiar with the calls.<\/p>\n

But the administration has had multiple calls with Anthropic in recent days, encouraged by the fact that Brown and Anthropic\u2019s public policy chief, Sarah Heck, have been leading the outreach. Amodei, the people say, was too difficult to talk to and did not listen to their concerns.<\/p>\n

The talks have been both at the high level and at the working-group level, involving technical staff from both sides. Some of the conversations have been about trying to establish what level of proof from Anthropic\u2019s side might alleviate the administration\u2019s concerns about jailbreaks of Fable 5, the people say.<\/p>\n

A White House spokesperson declined to comment on the matter. A spokesperson for Anthropic did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

The timeline for Anthropic being able to re-deploy Fable 5 remains uncertain. But what the company needs to do to lift the export controls could become clearer in the coming days.<\/p>\n
