Anthropic expands access to powerful Mythos AI model

Anthropic on Tuesday gave approximately 150 organisations around the world access to Mythos, its powerful new AI model whose rapid ability to identify weaknesses in computer security that has sparked global concern.

The California AI company had initially restricted access to Mythos in early April, after tests showed the model was extraordinarily good at finding security holes in software code – identifying thousands of them in a short period of time.

At first, only around 50 partners – mostly US companies – were brought into the program called Project Glasswing to test the model’s powers before it could be weaponized by hackers.
