What to watch — open questions
- What specific capabilities do Fairwind and Daybreak grant beyond standard API access?
- Will other frontier labs (Anthropic, Google's competitors) launch comparable government cyber-defense programs?
- Does Ukraine's Daybreak access extend to any offensive or intelligence use, or is it strictly defensive as stated?
