Instead of unleashing myths on the general public, the frontier lab will share them with a range of major companies and organizations that manage critical online infrastructure, from Amazon Web Services to JPMorgan Chase. OpenAI is reportedly considering a similar plan for its next cybersecurity tool. The ostensible idea is to allow…

Skills are great for pure knowledge and teaching an LLM how to use an existing tool. But for giving an LLM actual access to services, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the far superior, more pragmatic architectural choice.
