Earlier this spring, Claude’s developers found the cyber potential of Anthropic’s model, Mythos 5, hazardous enough to pump the brakes on model release, creating the Project Glasswing collaboration to give cyber defenders the upper hand through controlled access to the model. Despite these efforts, the U.S. government stepped in on June 12, 2026, and forced Anthropic to take down Mythos and its safeguarded form, Fable 5 — an action the company disputed, calling the trigger a narrow, nonuniversal

In a language model, instructions and data share one token stream, so nothing inside the model's generation can keep untrusted text from steering it. We develop a trust model that places the authority to act outside the model, in code: a source's standing, not its content, decides which operation runs and whether it acts. A lower-trust source may inform an answer but not override a higher one. An unmodified model runs inside a deterministic pipeline that ranks inputs by source integrity, and a f
