Swift move by Nissan Motor Corporation. In today’s environment, localisation is no longer just a manufacturing strategy — it’s becoming a risk management strategy. Reducing tariff exposure while strengthening supply chain resilience and faster response to market demand makes strong business sense. For global OEMs, balancing cost, flexibility, and geopolitical uncertainty will continue to reshape production footprints over the next few years. It’ll be interesting to see how other Japanese automakers respond.

Had a great few days in Atlanta last week with our senior leadership aligning on what’s important in this next fiscal year. There’s something about being in the same place outside the office...ideas come to life in a way they never quite do over Teams (and 5 different time zones!).

Interestingly we are experiencing some of the monolithic architectures benefiting and easier to manage with AI than service based architectures. More patterns will be easier for AI to deliver quality code to and manage that would be more challenging to human coders….not dead in my opinion but certainly going through the paradigm shift

## Claude Mythos Dropped This Week. Here's What It Actually Means. Anthropic quietly released a frontier model with capabilities they deemed too dangerous to release publicly — and instead deployed through something called **Project Glasswing**: a closed ecosystem with Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Cisco, JPMorgan, and others, backed by $100M in credits and $4M donated to open-source security. Let me tell you what Mythos tells us about where things are actually heading. **1. The vulnerability problem just got systemic** Mythos identified thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities — including a 27-year-old bug buried in critical systems. If this capability goes defensive through Project Glasswing, we could see the most systematic hardening of global software infrastructure in history. But the same capability can be weaponized. That asymmetry is not theoretical anymore. **2. The "restrictive release" model is here** Anthropic didn't open the API. They didn't publish weights. They built a partner network with conditions. That's the template now for frontier capabilities. Every major lab will develop their own version. Selective access for "responsible" actors. Safety commitments baked into the API layer. The era of "open weights for everything" is probably over for certain capability tiers. **3. Dual-use is no longer theoretical** Mythos reportedly can design bioweapons. Not find bugs. Design harmful biological systems. This is no longer speculative risk from frontier model speculation. It's a demonstrated 2026 capability. The silos between AI safety, biosecurity, and cybersecurity need to dissolve — because this model has cross-domain dangerous knowledge in one place. **4. The pace is not slowing — it's accelerating** Anthropic described Mythos as showing "above-trend capability gains." Not a dramatic leap. But still accelerating beyond historical rates. Which means the gap between what AI can do and what gets released is widening. And the race to match this threshold — for good or ill — is intensifying globally. **5. AI labs are becoming critical infrastructure actors** Anthropic is in active discussions with the US government about Mythos. Labs are now de facto cybersecurity regulators without having been elected or appointed as such. That's a governance gap that exists *today*, not in some speculative future. **The uncomfortable implication** Claude Mythos existing in April 2026 means the "wait and see" period on dangerous AI capabilities is over. The decisions Anthropic made this week are already shaping global security outcomes. The question isn't whether powerful AI needs governance. It's whether governance can move fast enough. And right now — the evidence suggests it can't. What do you see? Where does this land for your industry? 👇 I'd genuinely value the perspectives here — especially from anyone in security, policy, or governance.
