Key claims and evidence
Key claims in source A
- Hence it’s finding vulnerabilities that humans have missed,” he says.
- Treat Mythos as the warning shot it is,” says Curran.
- Reports suggest that they simply made an “educated guess” about where the model would be hosted online – the same sort of issue that led to the revelation of the existence of Mythos in the first place.
- there’s a good reason the model had been kept behind closed doors: it is – by accident rather than design – extremely good at hacking.

- BusinessMythos, Anthropic's most advanced AI model to date, has sparked fears about the threat to traditional software security after the AI startup said the preview had uncovered "thousands" of major vulnerabilities i…
- While debuting Mythos, Anthropic said the model's ability to find software flaws at scale could, if misused, pose serious risks to economies, public safety and national security.
- Global financial systems need to "come to grips" with the risks posed by rapid advances in artificial intelligence models like Mythos, Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem said earlier this month.
