Anthropic's Mythos sparks AI race

The release of Anthropic's Mythos model has set a new benchmark in the AI industry, leading to a surge in investor interest and a potential $800 billion valuation.

OpenAI responded quickly by launching GPT-5.4-Cyber, a specialized model designed to assist cybersecurity defenders in identifying software vulnerabilities.

This escalation highlights the growing tension between rapid innovation and the need for government oversight of powerful AI systems.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has emphasized that maintaining a lead in AI is critical for national security and economic stability.
