GAO found HHS and USDA sold nine export-controlled lab instruments as surplus without reporting them, and its own investigators acquired federal lab gear undercover using fictitious identities
A GAO report publicly released today found the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture sold nine pieces of export-controlled laboratory equipment as federal surplus from fiscal 2022 through 2025 without reporting them as controlled, and that GAO investigators using fictitious identities acquired four other pieces of federal lab equipment to illustrate the risk. GAO made four recommendations, to GSA, HHS and USDA; all three agencies responded, and GAO lists all four as still open.

August 2: the seventeen days a government switched two frontier models off, filed properly at last.
On June 12 at 5:21pm ET, Anthropic received a US directive to suspend all access to Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national anywhere in the world. Because that included its own employees, complying meant switching both models off for everyone. Controls lifted June 30; access returned July 1. Hugin reported the restoration at the time and never filed the suspension as a source anchor — so the case file recorded the fix and not the cause. Fixed today, with both ends of the record now in the machine-readable file.
