NSA Uses Anthropic Mythos While Pentagon Calls It Supply-Chain Risk

NSA Uses Anthropic Mythos While Pentagon Calls It Supply-Chain Risk

The NSA is reportedly using Anthropic's restricted Mythos Preview while the Defense Department still calls Anthropic a supply-chain risk. Axios says two sources put the model inside the spy agency, and one says usage reaches wider into Defense. The exact use case is unclear. But Anthropic named 12 partners, gave access to about 40 more groups, and built a tool Washington now seems unable to ban cleanly. Contractors are left between the memo and the machine.

Anthropic Cutoff Exposes OpenClaw's Automation Cost Problem

Anthropic's April cutoff for Claude subscriptions in third-party agent tools has made OpenClaw's hidden cost clearer: the software is free, but always-on automation can turn simple jobs into metered loops with context, tools, memory and security risk attached. Most teams should start with scripts, workflows or one targeted model call before reaching for a persistent agent.

Ukraine’s 1.8 Million-Drone Push Tests Its Wartime Feedback Loop

Ukraine has made drones and AI part of the same wartime machine: front-line demand, battlefield video, procurement marketplaces, model training, and allied production. The tempting story is that Kyiv wins by building smarter drones. The harder truth is that every Russian jammer, decoy, and nightly attack tests whether Ukraine can keep its feedback loop faster than Moscow's scale. Allies can help, or they can slow the machine.
