European Commission discusses AI model access with OpenAI, Anthropic

The European Commission is actively discussing access to advanced AI models with leading companies OpenAI and Anthropic. OpenAI has agreed to provide EU cybersecurity defenders with access to its GPT-5.5-Cyber model, a move welcomed by Brussels. In contrast, Anthropic has held multiple meetings with Commission officials regarding its Mythos system, but has not yet offered similar direct access. This engagement signifies Europe's approach to integrating frontier AI into its institutional infrastructure, particularly for cybersecurity, as it prepares to enforce its AI Act starting in 2025. The access to these advanced AI models could have broader implications beyond government cybersecurity, potentially extending to securing financial infrastructure and the digital asset ecosystem.
