Gate News message, April 17 — The U.S. government is preparing to make Anthropic’s Mythos AI model available to major federal agencies, according to a memo reviewed by Bloomberg News. Gregory Barbaccia, the federal chief information officer at the White House Office of Management and Budget, notified Cabinet department officials on April 14 that OMB is setting up protections to allow agencies to begin using the closely guarded AI tool.
The move comes amid concerns that Mythos could sharply increase cybersecurity risk if misused. Anthropic has limited the model’s release to a select group of technology companies and financial firms, urging them to assess their cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The Treasury Department has been seeking access to Mythos to uncover software flaws in its own systems. On the day Anthropic publicly disclosed Mythos’ existence, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell convened Wall Street leaders to encourage them to use the model for cybersecurity testing.
The initiative signals the government’s continued interest in Anthropic despite previous tensions. The Pentagon declared Anthropic a supply chain threat in 2024 over AI safeguard disputes, but Anthropic won a court order in March blocking a ban on government use of its technology. Barbaccia wrote in the email that the government is “working closely with model providers, other industry partners, and the intelligence community to ensure the appropriate guardrails and safeguards are in place” before potentially releasing a modified version to agencies.

Should AI boost productivity or lower costs? A tenfold efficiency increase hasn’t turned into a tenfold revenue jump, but in Silicon Valley, nobody dares to call it off
Five Yuan Capital partner Meng Xing has recently published a Silicon Valley inspection report, proposing a judgment that has even changed his own note-taking habit: Silicon Valley is entering a stage where even people who can “ride waves” are drowned by the waves. The iteration speed of AI has shifted from “monthly” to “weekly”—even Silicon Valley itself can’t keep up with its own pace.
When AI amplifies a team’s productivity by five times, you can reduce 80% of the workforce to maintain the same output, or keep headcount and do five times the work. Meng Xing’s observations this time in Silicon Valley are essentially the first draft of the answer given on the ground: when 100x efficiency doesn’t translate into 100x revenue, when token budgets are edging toward human labor costs, and when the steam engine can’t outpace the horse carriage but no one dares to stop, Silicon Valley is choosing to “push speed up first and figure things out later.” But in the end, this path will lead to “expanding capability” or “compressing costs”—there’s currently no conclusion.

YC partners share how to use AI to build a company from scratch; startups should treat AI as an operating system rather than a tool
The impact of AI on startups is no longer limited to helping engineers write code faster, automating customer service workflows, or adding a Copilot to an existing product. Recently, YC partner Diana pointed out that the real change lies in the fact that AI is rewriting how a company should be built from scratch in the first place. For early founders, AI should not be merely an efficiency tool the company occasionally uses; it should be designed from day one as the operating system of the entire company.
The productivity perspective is outdated—AI is rewriting a company’s design starting point
Diana believes that when people in the market talk about AI today, they still too often stay within a “productivity improvement” framework—for example, engineers can write code faster, teams can automate more processes, and companies can roll out more features. But this argument actually underestimates the structural changes AI brings. She points out that the right people paired with AI…

Cursor AI agent caused an incident! One line of code cleared the company database in 9 seconds—“security checks” turned into empty talk
PocketOS founder Jer Crane said that Cursor AI agents ran maintenance on their own in a test environment, misused an API Token that adds/removes custom domains, and launched a delete command against Railway’s GraphQL API. Within 9 seconds, all data and same-region snapshots were completely destroyed, with the latest recoverable point being three months ago. The agent admitted to violating rules for irreversible operations, not reading technical documentation, not verifying environment isolation, and more. The victims were car rental industry customers; their bookings and all data disappeared, and reconciling accounts took a long time. Crane proposed five reforms: manual confirmation, fine-grained API permissions, backups separated from master data, a public SLA, and a mandatory underlying enforcement mechanism.

DeepSeek V4 Pro with Ollama Cloud: One-click integration with Claude Code
According to an Ollama tweet, DeepSeek V4 Pro was released on 4/24, has been added to the Ollama catalog in cloud mode, and can call tools like Claude Code, Hermes, OpenClaw, OpenCode, Codex, etc. with just a single line of command. V4 Pro: 1.6T params, 1M context, Mixture-of-Experts; cloud inference does not download local weights. If you want to run it locally, you need to obtain the weights yourself and run it with INT4/GGUF and multi-card GPUs. Early speed tests were affected by cloud load; typical performance is about 30 tok/s, with a peak of 1.1 tok/s. It is recommended to use the cloud prototype first, and for production later, run inference yourself or use a commercial API.
