Anthropic's 'Mythos' Sparks AI Alarm

Mythos represents a 'step change' in AI capability, according to former national cyber directors who warn that the U.S. is not prepared for its potential impact.

The model has reportedly drawn interest from several federal agencies, keeping Anthropic's influence in Washington strong despite previous blacklisting.

Experts argue that Mythos could rewrite the rules of cybersecurity, necessitating a new generation of high-skill professionals.

Meanwhile, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has engaged in a public war of words with Anthropic leadership over the model's availability and pricing.
