Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent met with major U.S. bank CEOs this week to discuss the possible cyber risks raised by Anthropic’s Mythos model, CNBC confirmed Friday. The bank heads were already in Washington, D.C., for a Financial Services Forum board meeting when a special gathering was called on Tuesday to discuss Mythos, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be named in order to share information about a confidential matter. The CEOs had a dinner early in the week when they were called to meet at the Treasury Department, one of the people said. JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon was the only major banking CEO who could not attend the meeting, they added. Bank of America’s Brian Moynihan, Citigroup’s Jane Fraser, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, Morgan Stanley’s Ted Pick, and Wells Fargo CEO Charlie Scharf were all in attendance, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the meeting.
