Private-Sector Arms Control: When AI Labs Become the Treaty Organization

Glasswing, a Anthropic-backed consortium of 52 critical infrastructure partners, gates access to Claude Mythos—an AI model that achieves 83.1% autonomous exploit success rates. Meanwhile, the Fraud Marketplace Forum (FMF) three-part coalition flags distillation attacks across competitors. Together, these initiatives form a private-sector arms control regime where capability access is determined by corporate consortium membership, not government policy. The structure mirrors nuclear non-proliferation run by weapons manufacturers, with no external audit, no appeals process, and no regulatory oversight.
