What happened
Reports confirm NSA is already using Anthropic's Mythos Preview model for intelligence operations, despite the Department of Defense labeling Anthropic as a supply chain risk and limiting access.
Why it matters
Reveals fractured US government AI policy with intelligence agencies bypassing DoD security assessments, creating precedent for agencies to independently adopt high-risk AI capabilities.
Action needed
Monitor for clarification of official US government position on Mythos and prepare for potential policy reversals affecting enterprise AI adoption.
