Anthropic has embedded roughly 6 "forward-deployed engineers" directly within the US NSA
These specialists are actively customizing & deploying Anthropic’s unreleased frontier model, Claude Mythos Preview, for complex offensive cyber operations.
This direct collaboration introduces an institutional paradox. It unfolds while Anthropic is locked in a high-stakes legal battle w/ the Pentagon. Defense Secr Pete Hegseth recently doubled down on a "supply-chain risk" designation that effectively blacklists the firm from broader military procurement
Anthropic has not been fully kicked out of the broader national security apparatus due to a complex mix of ongoing legal litigation, statutory phase-out timelines, & distinct institutional loopholes.
Because Anthropic’s models are deeply integrated into the military's classified networks, the Pentagon's Chief Information Officer testified to Congress that abruptly severing access mid-mission poses an immediate software failure risk to active-duty troops
