 "lane": "policy",
 "kind": "framework",
 "summary": "Google DeepMind's Frontier Safety Framework version 3.0 adds a harmful manipulation CCL and expands misalignment and internal-deployment provisions. Its cyber domain keeps a single CCL, Cyber uplift level 1, for models providing sufficient uplift with high-impact cyber attacks to add expected harm at severe scale, paired with Security Level 2; the framework reasons that automated cyber-defense and social adaptation make higher security levels likely unwarranted.",
 "whyItMatters": "It shows a lab explicitly reasoning that cyber-capable model weights warrant only Security Level 2, the same as its CBRN and manipulation CCLs and below its ML R&D CCLs, a choice revisited in 2026.",
