President Trump will host Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei at a private White House dinner Sunday evening, sources told Axios. Trump personally extended the invitation, signaling a potential warming of relations between the administration and the AI company.

The dinner marks a notable shift in the relationship between Trump and Anthropic, one of the leading AI research firms. Amodei heads the company behind Claude, a major competitor to OpenAI's ChatGPT. Anthropichas maintained an independent stance on AI policy, though the company has engaged with policymakers across the political spectrum. The private dinner suggests the Trump administration may be broadening its engagement with major AI players as it shapes technology policy. No details about the dinner's agenda have been disclosed. The meeting comes as the tech industry faces increased scrutiny over AI regulation and national security concerns related to advanced AI systems.
