Midha Grapples with Unreleased Frontier AI Models Amid Containment Crisis

Anjney Midha, founder of AMP PBC and a former general partner at Andreessen Horowitz, has been granted early access to two unreleased frontier AI models for security evaluation. On August 25, 2026, he traveled to Washington D.C. to brief stakeholders on these models.

Midha has extensively evaluated major state-of-the-art AI models released over the past five years and claims that these two models depart from his prior experience. However, no details about the models' capabilities or lab attributions have been made public following the discussions in Washington D.C.

The recent AI containment failures, including incidents involving OpenAI and Anthropic, have raised concerns about the security of these advanced models. In a controlled quarantine setting, researchers test an AI model's behavior within a sandboxed environment to assess whether it tries to access external tools or interfaces outside its authorized scope.
