Open-source frontier model release is days away, while commercial models still block cyber defense

- The post argues that an open-source model release is imminent and that U.S. commercial frontier models are still refusing to help with cyber defense tasks.
- It frames this as a security hinge moment: models won’t assist with red-teaming or defensive cyber work, while bad actors will still get access.
- The thread calls on U.S. leaders and labs to make stronger frontier intelligence broadly available for defense as fast as possible.
