Anthropic’s Mythos Model Sparks Emergency Wall Street Meeting

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell summoned the CEOs of America’s largest banks to an urgent meeting at the Treasury Department to discuss cybersecurity risks posed by Anthropic’s new frontier model, Mythos Preview. Attendees included Citigroup’s Jane Fraser, Morgan Stanley’s Ted Pick, Bank of America’s Brian Moynihan, Wells Fargo’s Charlie Scharf, and Goldman Sachs’ David Solomon.

The alarm stems from Mythos Preview’s ability to discover and exploit zero-day vulnerabilities at a scale no previous AI model has achieved. Anthropic reports the model identified thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities across every major operating system and web browser — many of them 10 to 27 years old — and can write working exploits to go with them. In testing against Mozilla’s Firefox 147 JavaScript engine, Mythos developed working exploits 181 times out of several hundred attempts, compared to just two for Opus 4.6.

Anthropic has withheld the model from general release, instead launching Project Glasswing in partnership with JPMorgan Chase, Amazon, and Google — an initiative providing 12 partner organizations with access for defensive security work. The company has committed up to $100 million in Mythos Preview usage credits and extended access to 40 additional organizations that build critical software infrastructure.

CoreWeave Surges 11% on Multi-Year Anthropic Deal

CoreWeave announced a multi-year agreement to provide cloud infrastructure for Anthropic’s Claude AI models, sending its stock up 11% — capping a remarkable 48-hour stretch that also included a $21 billion expansion deal with Meta. Under the agreement, Anthropic will run production-scale workloads on CoreWeave’s specialized GPU clusters, with compute coming online later this year through a phased infrastructure rollout.

With the addition of Anthropic, nine of the ten leading AI model providers now leverage CoreWeave’s platform. Bloomberg reports the deal underscores Anthropic’s strategy to secure massive compute capacity without the capital expenditure of building its own data centers — a critical advantage as the company races to train and deploy increasingly powerful models.

Asian AI Stocks Rebound as Middle East Tensions Ease

Global investors poured back into Asian technology stocks this week, with Taiwan and South Korea equities receiving a combined $7.9 billion in net foreign buying — snapping more than a month of outflows. The rebound was driven by easing Middle East tensions and renewed confidence in the AI infrastructure buildout, with semiconductor heavyweights TSMC and Samsung leading gains.

Bloomberg reports that tech-sector valuations have fallen below those of the broader market for the first time since early 2025, prompting analysts including Goldman Sachs’ David Oppenheimer to call the pullback an attractive entry point — particularly for companies with direct AI exposure.

Pentagon Considers Canceling $8 Billion GPS Ground Control Program

The U.S. Space Force is evaluating whether to terminate RTX’s (formerly Raytheon) contract for the GPS III Operational Control Segment, known as OCX — a program that has ballooned to nearly $8 billion over 16 years without reaching operational status. Originally established in 2010 with a planned start of operations in 2016, OCX has become one of the most troubled acquisition programs in military space history.

RTX’s primary contract option expired on March 31, 2026. The Space Force took ownership of OCX software Blocks 1 and 2 in July 2025 and began its own development testing, which revealed additional problems. On April 1, the Space Force awarded RTX a $45 million bridge contract modification to ensure continuity of GPS launch, checkout, and maintenance capabilities. According to GPS World, the Pentagon is now seriously evaluating upgrading the legacy ground system built by Lockheed Martin — known as the Architecture Evolution Plan (AEP) — as a viable alternative to the persistently delayed OCX.

NAB Showcases Broadcast Positioning System as GPS Backup

Ahead of the 2026 NAB Show on April 19, the National Association of Broadcasters is spotlighting its Broadcast Positioning System (BPS) — a technology that uses the ATSC 3.0 broadcast standard to transmit precise timing signals from television towers, providing a GNSS-independent positioning and timing source. NAB recently won a Department of Transportation contract to provide BPS service for testing in the Washington, D.C., area.

Inside GNSS reports that BPS can deliver sub-nanosecond UTC(NIST) timing into broadcast stations via optical synchronization, with potential applications spanning datacenter time synchronization, critical infrastructure backup, and areas where GPS signals are degraded or denied. NAB appointed Sam Matheny and Tariq Mondal as executive vice president and vice president of BPS, respectively, signaling the organization’s commitment to commercializing the technology.

Key Takeaways

AI’s dual-use reality hits home: Anthropic’s Mythos model forced an unprecedented government-bank summit, demonstrating that frontier AI capabilities now pose systemic risks serious enough to warrant emergency coordination between the Treasury, the Fed, and Wall Street.
CoreWeave is becoming AI’s essential utility: Back-to-back deals with Meta ($21 billion) and Anthropic in 48 hours — with nine of ten top model providers now on its platform — position CoreWeave as the de facto infrastructure backbone of the AI industry.
GPS ground infrastructure at a crossroads: The potential cancellation of the $8 billion OCX program after 16 years of delays could reshape how the military manages its most critical navigation system, while alternative PNT technologies like NAB’s BPS gain momentum as GPS backup solutions.
