Why Anthropic are too scared to release their new model, Mythos
On Wednesday, the US Treasury Secretary and the chair of the Federal Reserve called an emergency meeting with the CEOs of America's largest banks. Not about interest rates. Not about inflation.
About an AI model.
Anthropic built something that finds and exploits security flaws in virtually any software it's pointed at — bugs that the best human researchers in the world had missed for decades. And then they decided not to sell it.
In this episode of In The Loop, I'm walking through what Anthropic's Mythos model actually did, why the sceptics make some sharp points about the timing and the headline numbers, and why the way this was handled — a private company forming a private coalition with no democratic input — tells you more about where AI governance stands than the model itself.
