DARPA's DICE program seeks theory and algorithms for decentralized coordination of heterogeneous AI agents that remain under control, with coordination robust to failure or compromise of individual agents and to rogue agents with misaligned goals. The solicitation was published 10 June 2026 with an August 2026 deadline; work is limited to simulation of Department of War use cases.

Anthropic said the US government issued an export control directive, citing national security authorities, barring access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by foreign nationals, after officials said they had found a way to jailbreak Fable 5's safeguards. Anthropic said the net effect was that it had to disable both models for all customers to comply, while other Claude models stayed available. Anthropic disputed the rationale, arguing the demonstrated vulnerabilities were minor and that the standard applied industry-wide would halt new frontier deployments.
NIST announced a paper by Apostol Vassilev in IEEE Security & Privacy arguing, by extension of Gödel's incompleteness results, that no finite set of guardrails can be universally robust against adversarial prompts. NIST recommends a continuous monitor-and-update model: ongoing red teaming, continuous guardrail updates, and operational resilience to limit impact and recover.
