Core Event: Anthropic announced Claude Mythos, its most powerful AI model to date, alongside Project Glasswing, an initiative granting early access to over 40 major technology companies to identify and patch vulnerabilities in their systems before the model's broader release.[1][6] The announcement came approximately two weeks after Anthropic accidentally leaked internal documents describing the model due to a misconfigured content management system.[4][6]

Nvidia acquired SchedMD, developer of the open-source Slurm workload manager, in December 2025 to bolster its AI and supercomputing ecosystem.[2][3] Slurm schedules computing tasks across hardware from Nvidia, AMD, Intel, and others, powering AI model training at companies like Meta, Mistral, and Anthropic, as well as government supercomputers for weather and security research.[2][3] Nvidia pledged to keep Slurm open-source and vendor-neutral, but AI executives, supercomputing specialists, and analysts worry it could prioritize Nvidia hardware in updates or roadmaps, eroding competition.[1][2][3]

OpenAI urged the attorneys general of California and Delaware to investigate Elon Musk and associates for alleged "improper and anti-competitive behavior," claiming his ongoing lawsuit—seeking over $100 billion in damages—could cripple its nonprofit foundation and hinder efforts to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI) for humanity's benefit.[1][2][3][4]

On April 1, 2026, the FCC's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB) and Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) released Public Notice DA 26-314, titled “Unleashing American Drone Dominance,” soliciting public comments on regulatory reforms to boost U.S. drone (UAS), eVTOL, and counter-UAS technologies. Comments are due May 1, 2026, and replies by May 18.[1][2][4] The notice seeks input on streamlining equipment authorization and siting rules, expanding spectrum access for testing and operations (e.g., beyond current unlicensed bands like 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz, and 5.8 GHz), modernizing experimental licensing, facilitating U.S. firm investments, providing manufacturing clarity, and aligning policies with national security to counter foreign drones.[1][4][9][11]
