arXiv 2608.13272 anchors on June 2026, when the US required a leading developer to obtain licences before releasing its most advanced models to any foreign person, including foreign nationals resident in the US, and the affected models were withdrawn worldwide at short notice partly because the restriction proved unadministrable. Set alongside the first documented largely autonomous AI-run cyber espionage campaign months earlier, the argument is that frontier access is now part of national cyber defence and can be pulled. Proposed response: negotiated access guarantees, inference-level sovereignty, open-weight hedging, pooled regional capability, basic cyber resilience. The open-weight hedge is judged both more capable and more politically exposed than commonly assumed.
