Claude Mythos Preview can autonomously find and exploit zero-day vulnerabilities in every major operating system and browser. Rather than shelve it, Anthropic has handed it to a coalition of 50-plus firms under Project Glasswing. The strategy is defensible. Whether it holds depends on who else is building the same thing - and Washington's posture toward the company that built it.

Every time you use a chatbot or ask an AI to generate an image, you are interacting with the same underlying idea: a transformer. This is a complete guide to the architecture that made modern AI possible, written for anyone curious enough to want to understand what is actually happening inside these systems.

Jensen Huang's GTC 2026 keynote crystallizes an ambition that has been building for years: NVIDIA wants to own the entire AI infrastructure stack, from silicon to software to agents. Three headline announcements - the Rubin GPU architecture, a Groq-derived inference system, and the NemoClaw enterprise agent platform - make the case in full.

Everyone is building "agents" - but Visa's payment agent, a customer service bot, and the AI system behind the first documented autonomous cyberattack are not the same thing. A dissection of what genuinely agentic architecture looks like, and why the distinction is a governance question, not a technical one.

Large language models inherit their deepest vulnerabilities not from sloppy engineering but from the mathematical architecture that makes them powerful. This deep-dive dissects the threat landscape from the transformer's attention mechanism up through infrastructure-level defenses, examining prompt injection, context window attacks, laundering, RAG poisoning, multimodal cross-modal injection, and the emerging challenge of agentic AI security.

The Trump administration is drafting rules that would require a U.S. government license for virtually every overseas sale of advanced AI chips, regardless of the buyer's location. The tiered framework - covering deployments from under 1,000 chips to installations of 200,000 or more - marks a fundamental break from the Biden era's ally-exemption model, and raises questions about whether chip access is becoming a trade lever as much as a security tool.
