Summary
Anthropic got US government approval to expand Mythos access just weeks after reporting it suffered the largest-ever distillation attack, orchestrated by China’s Alibaba. Meanwhile Sam Altman is desperate for a trillion-dollar valuation for OpenAI's IPO, but his own advisors are telling him it's not happening in 2026. Unless Anthropic gets blocked? The AI arms race between companies and countries is moving faster than anyone can keep up with.
