Meta’s most-popular former employee and father of AI Yann LeCun calls Anthropic’s latest model that has everyone scared, as ‘Drama’

Yann LeCun—Meta’s former chief AI scientist and one of the three researchers credited with pioneering modern deep learning—has dismissed the panic around Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview as overblown theatrics. “Mythos drama = BS from self-delusion,” LeCun wrote on X, responding to a post from AI security company Aisle that claimed smaller, cheaper models could replicate much of the same vulnerability analysis Anthropic showcased in its announcement this week.
