A handful of users in a private online forum gained access to Mythos on the same day that Anthropic first announced a plan to release the model...
The group has been using Mythos regularly since then, though not for cybersecurity purposes...
Announced on April 7, Mythos is being deployed as part of Anthropic's "Project Glasswing," a controlled initiative under which select organizations are permitted to use the unreleased Claude Mythos Preview model for defensive cybersecurity.
Mythos is a powerful AI model that has sparked concerns among regulators about its unprecedented ability to identify digital security vulnerabilities and potential for misuse.

How does a company that specializes in cyber-security manage to lose not just one app, but two?
I find it curious how this occurs at the same time its experiencing a significant dodgy patch with the U.S. government, specifically the Department of Defense (DoD) about its imposed guardrails.
Since Mythos is being coded by 80% Indians here in the USA you can bet that the source code is available on the streets of Mumbai on a thumb drive right now....
They just don’t have the electricity or silicone to pull it off.

“They just don’t have the electricity or silicone to pull it off.”
That is because India is a parasitic civilization and has to live off others like a fungus.
Toothpaste. Tube. Some assembly required.
Oh wait. Never mind.
They are running all of our computer systems now. So there is that.
One day in the not-so-distant future, AI will figure out how to take down the entire Internet.
Pleasant dreams, everyone!
This is a significant and fast-moving story. Here's what the reporting tells us:
What Mythos Is
Mythos is Anthropic's latest AI model, announced on April 7. Anthropic made the unusual decision to refuse a public release — the first time a major developer has deemed a system too dangerous for the public since OpenAI briefly withheld GPT-2 in 2019. Scientific American
Why It's Powerful
Mythos is built to think like a senior software engineer. It can detect hidden flaws in code and exploit them at machine speed. It scored 73% on expert-level hacking tasks in independent testing by the UK's AI Security Institute — tasks no previous AI model could complete at all. Technology Org
In tests, it found critical faults in every widely used operating system and web browser. Of those vulnerabilities, 99% have not yet been patched — and Anthropic has disclosed only a fraction of what it says it has found. Scientific American
How Access Is Being Controlled
Anthropic provided Mythos to more than 40 companies and organizations who are now testing it and working to shore up their systems, rather than releasing it publicly. Axios This restricted access program is called "Project Glasswing" and includes Microsoft, Google, Apple, and JPMorgan Chase. Technology Org
The Security Complications
An unauthorized group reportedly gained access to Mythos through a third-party vendor, making "an educated guess about the model's online location based on knowledge of the format Anthropic has used for other models." TechCrunch
Notably, CISA — the country's top cyber defense agency — is not among the organizations with access, even as the NSA and other government agencies are using it. Axios
The bottom line: Mythos appears to represent a genuine capability threshold crossing — an AI that can do offensive cybersecurity work at a level that previously required elite human expertise. That's what has governments and financial institutions rattled.
This AI business sounds more & more dangerous every time I hear about it. With what’s already known about it, it would seem to me that it should be outlawed.
It may lead to a great deal of trouble, but we can be sure that China will not outlaw it–and would use it to destroy the US and the free world.
Like it or not, it is now a matter of national security.
Create a problem and then come to the rescue calling to have a solution?
