On April 17th, a memo revealed that the U.S. government is preparing to provide a version of Mythos, an artificial intelligence model developed by Anthropic, to major federal agencies, with enhanced security measures in place, to address concerns that the tool could significantly increase cybersecurity risks. In an email sent Tuesday to cabinet departments, White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Federal Chief Information Officer Barbasilia stated that the OMB is establishing safeguards to enable agencies to begin using this highly restricted AI tool in the future. The email did not specify whether agencies would have access to Mythos, nor did it provide a specific timeline or usage method. It only informed heads of technology and cybersecurity departments that more information was expected "in the coming weeks." Currently, Anthropic has only made Mythos available to a limited number of technology companies and financial institutions, encouraging them to use it to assess their own cybersecurity risks. Due to concerns that hackers could exploit the models capabilities to steal data or compromise systems, the company has strictly limited its distribution.On April 17th, US President Trump stated that he expects a deal with Iran to be announced soon, claiming it would bring the US "free oil" and a "free Strait of Hormuz."
