Frontier AI lab. Surfaced for Cancel Clankers' beats on May 4–5, 2026 as the named catalyst for a major federal AI-regulation reversal: the company's Mythos preview model — restricted to a vetted partner group under Project Glasswing — has been reported as having surfaced thousands of previously unknown software vulnerabilities across major operating systems and browsers, including a 27-year-old flaw in OpenBSD. The capability prompted the Trump White House to consider a federal pre-release vetting regime for new AI models — a sharp reversal from the Trump National AI Policy Framework's March 20 posture against new federal rulemaking. The White House opposed Anthropic's plan to expand Project Glasswing partner access to ~70 additional organizations on national-security and compute-availability grounds.
