Anthropic’s flagship “Mythos” AI models are at the center of a major geopolitical storm after reports surfaced that a group linked to China may have accessed the system.

At HDC 2026, Huawei showcased a massive shift in its mobile paradigm, transitioning HarmonyOS entirely toward an AI Agent-based architecture. The system assistant, Xiaoyi (Celia), has been granted unprecedented OS-level privileges, capable of chaining over 2,100 “skill-ified” system capabilities via Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocols. This signals a bold move away from the traditional app-siloed ecosystem towards an “intent-as-a-service” future, where the OS itself dynamically coordinates workflows across apps and devices.
