The Story

Nextgov/FCW's David DiMolfetta first reported, citing two anonymous sources, that NSA analysts had been notified on Friday they would lose access to Anthropic's Mythos model amid an export control dispute. The New York Times reframed the story the same day, revealing the administration was actively working to reinstate limited NSA access. The Associated Press distributed the story globally under the Project Glasswing framing within hours.
