- Only after that will Mythos see wider deployment as a general-purpose AI system.
- This change will impact not only banks and financial institutions, but also critical infrastructure operators in energy, healthcare, telecoms, and transport.
- They will be granted secure, supervised access to the Mythos Preview model in isolated environments to evaluate its ability to detect vulnerabilities in their systems while minimising any risk of misuse.

How score signals are formed
Bias score signal
Bias signal combines framing pressure, emotional wording, selective emphasis, and one-sided narrative markers.
Emotionality signal
Emotionality rises when evidence contains emotionally loaded wording and evaluative labels.
One-sidedness signal
One-sidedness rises when one frame dominates and alternative interpretations are weakly represented.
Evidence strength signal
Evidence strength rises with concrete claims, attributed statements, and verifiable contextual support.
