The Trump administration has grown happier dealing with Anthropic after replacing CEO Dario Amodei in key meetings. Cofounder Tom Brown now represents the company in discussions about re-releasing the Claude Fable 5 AI model.
People familiar with the matter say officials no longer have to engage with Amodei during high-stakes White House talks.
One official previously described Amodei as a "weirdo." Brown has taken his place in these sessions.
The change reflects a shift in how the administration interacts with the artificial intelligence firm.
