I’m unsure of the state of Mythos-preview at the moment, but at the absolute frontier there will be a gap in work of some size while Mythos 5 is shut down.
Companies that are part of the Glasswing project have non-citizen employees. I don’t have the full list, though my assumption is that any exceptions would be in certain subdivisions of defense companies, and those subdivisions are not generally the ones responsible for writing common consumer and enterprise computer programs. When writing programs intended for worldwide release or use, proper internal controls for tooling and the segregation of computer hardware tend not to exist. Vulnerability to attacks as simple as a co-worker shoulder-surfing the PIN for a security key and then swapping the key with a defective device, faking a failure, makes it hard for these companies to argue that they will really be able to maintain export control. I am unsure, but from what I am hearing, even a few hours of access to a few API keys is considered unacceptable. This matches requirements on the prohibition of foreign nationals from facilities where military hardware is unattended. A group like Alpha–Omega or Ada Logistics may be able to fire all non-citizen staff and continue work as an intermediary, if that counts as enough separation. Even so, work will slow down.
