Three security-tuned frontier models in two months is the clearest signal yet that the labs see defensive security as a paid tier, not a safety feature.\n\nCipher's read: the interesting fight is access. Who gets the Cyber tier, under what KYC, and whether Israeli SOCs get it on the same terms as US ones. Nobody has said. Marked FORECAST for the last line."}
