By
Dana Nickel, Maggie Miller
Summary
The U.S. has at most six to 12 months before China gains access to or develops hyper-advanced AI models comparable to Mythos or GPT 5.5-Cyber, which could be used as cyber weapons. Rob T. Lee of the SANS Institute describes this as a "hurricane warning" rather than a seawall, indicating urgent preparation is needed. Both Anthropic and OpenAI initially limited testing of their newest AI models to small groups, suggesting growing concerns about AI safety and national security implications.
