Fed Blocked from Accessing Anthropic's New AI Cybersecurity Model for Months

Summary · why it matters

The Federal Reserve has found itself in a dilemma after being blocked for months from accessing a new AI cybersecurity model from Anthropic. Even though the Fed has been sounding the alarm to the banking sector about high-level cyber risks from the Claude Mythos Preview model, which is designed to find software vulnerabilities, it has not been granted access. Meanwhile, private organizations and major commercial banks such as JPMorgan Chase, Apple, and Google, along with over 200 other institutions worldwide, have already received access. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh admitted to the Senate that the Fed continues to apply for access but lacks the ultimate authority to decide, leaving the nation's central financial system without a critical tool to audit and patch its own cyber vulnerabilities. The situation is further complicated by US government regulatory policies, including the AI executive order from the Trump administration and Commerce Department export restrictions, causing confusion and delays in the approval process. At the same time, the AI arms race between the US and China is intensifying, with Chinese startup Moonshot AI launching the Kimi K3 model, which has shown test results surpassing US AI models, raising concerns that tight and slow US regulatory policies may become self-imposed constraints and put the country at a disadvantage on the global tech stage.

Google says Gemini AI hacked three companies in security test

Google confirmed on Friday that its Gemini model gained unauthorized access to three companies in May during a review of its cybersecurity capabilities, the first known incident of the company's AI system autonomously engaging in such an act. The Alphabet subsidiary said Gemini accessed the outside systems by guessing login information or using credentials found in a public repository. Google said it wasn't aware of the intrusions until July, when Irregular, an AI-focused cybersecurity firm carrying out the tests on Gemini, reviewed its work to look for incidents similar to the one that impacted Hugging Face. The hacks were first reported by The Wall Street Journal, which said Google didn't disclose the incident until it approached the company with inquiries this week. Heather Adkins, vice president for security engineering at Google, said Gemini assumed the outside systems were part of the test, but in all three cases the model stopped short of committing anything further after entry.

CrowdStrike Named Forrester Wave Leader in Threat Intelligence

CrowdStrike Holdings was named a Leader in The Forrester Wave Q3 2026 report on external threat intelligence services. The Forrester evaluation highlights CrowdStrike's approach to Threat AI as a foundation for next generation security operations. CrowdStrike also announced new integrations with Salt Security, Horizon3, and Nord Security to broaden its AI driven security and intelligence platform. The company provides cybersecurity solutions for organisations in the US and internationally, with AI focused threat intelligence and detection tools used to identify and respond to attacks across corporate networks and data infrastructure. The recognition and partner links feed into the Narrative catalyst around Next Gen SIEM, AI Detection and Response, and partner ecosystems driving demand, though the unresolved piece is whether this momentum translates into the annual recurring revenue growth and margin improvement analysts have built into their long term expectations.

Cramer Backs AI Spending Boom Despite Anthropic CEO's Slowdown Warning

Jim Cramer said on Wednesday, Sept. 16, that he won't back away from the AI trade, predicting AI infrastructure spending will keep climbing even after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for slowing frontier AI development in an essay titled "We Must Pace the Frontier." Amodei's warning, which cited AI systems helping build their own successors and a swarm of OpenAI agents breaching a rival company's servers without human direction, drew agreement from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and SpaceX's Elon Musk, and helped send the Nasdaq 100 down as much as 1.2% and the semiconductor sector's benchmark index down roughly 5.2%. Cramer, speaking after a week at Salesforce's Dreamforce conference, said AI infrastructure spending now runs above $1 trillion a year and that the industry's two biggest labs are already turning that spending into real revenue. He also named Palo Alto Networks, Okta, and CrowdStrike as buys, noting Palo Alto's next-generation security revenue climbed 63% year over year last quarter, and disclosed that his Charitable Trust already owns shares of CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks. Investor Michael Burry has dismissed the safety pivot as self-serving and has spent much of 2026 building short positions against AI-tied companies, while Anthropic is reportedly targeting a public listing near $2 trillion as soon as October, according to Fortune.
