Anthropic just made AI scarier
TL;DR

Enough that Anthropic, a leading AI company, announced earlier this month that its latest AI model, Claude Mythos Preview, would be available only to a limited number of businesses due to security concerns — at least for now. Claude Mythos Preview was designed for general use, Anthropic says, but during testing, the company found it extremely effective at identifying vulnerabilities in the security systems of all types of software, creating potentially massive security concerns. So far, Anthropic is sharing the Mythos Preview model with a handful of major tech companies and banks through a program called Project Glasswing, intended to give them an opportunity to shore up any existing security vulnerabilities and get ahead of potential hacking at.
Nauti's Take
Anthropic restricting Mythos Preview rather than releasing it openly shows a level of responsible deployment that's genuinely rare in the AI industry. Project Glasswing gives organizations a window to patch vulnerabilities before the capability is widely available.
That said, the underlying reality — that AI can now autonomously find and exploit software vulnerabilities — is a systemic security challenge that won't be solved by one company's caution.
