On Thursday, President Trump hosted a high‑profile state dinner for Chinese President Xi, where several leading technology CEOs mingled in a glittering affair. Anthropic’s chief executive, Amodei, was noticeably absent from the event.
The dinner, described by media outlets as “glitzy,” was a rare opportunity for the U.S. president to engage with a key international partner while showcasing American technological prowess. Attendees included a roster of top tech leaders who were seen networking and exchanging ideas.
Despite the presence of many prominent CEOs, Amodei did not attend. Sources say the Anthropic chief will be meeting with Trump in a separate setting following the dinner.
While the details of the upcoming meeting remain undisclosed, it is clear that Amodei’s absence from the state dinner will be followed by a direct conversation with the president.
