Anthropic's Mythos AI sparks alarm

The release of Anthropic's powerful new AI model, Mythos, has triggered urgent security reviews by financial regulators and national governments.

Experts warn that the model's advanced capabilities could usher in a new era of cyber risk by automating complex hacking operations.

While some industry veterans argue that the primary challenge remains fixing known vulnerabilities, others fear that open-source models from competitors like China will soon match these capabilities.

Anthropic has limited the public release of Mythos as it continues high-level talks with the Trump administration and international security agencies.
