- Anthropic has placed roughly six forward‑deployed engineers inside the NSA.
- NSA is using those engineers to deploy Anthropic’s Mythos AI for offensive cyber operations.

Why it matters: The NSA gains direct access to Anthropic’s Mythos AI, boosting its offensive cyber capacity, while Anthropic’s legal clash with the Pentagon strains its government contracts.
