Key claims in source A
- that single effort represents roughly 30% of the world’s annual output of discovered zero-day vulnerabilities before AI entered the picture, as reported by Fox News, citing CyberGuy Report.
- Why Anthropic Limited Access to the Mythos AI ModelIn just seven weeks, Mythos identified more than 2,000 previously unknown software vulnerabilities, as per a report.
- Calling it “unprecedented,” Ackerly described the move as responsible, especially given the potential risks tied to widespread access, as per the report.
