Mythos

A powerful AI model capable of finding novel code vulnerabilities, now being used by federal agencies.

“Well, I think that basically, um, to, to use a phrase you sometimes like to use, like the Trump administration's view of AI just did not survive contact with reality, right? And that in a word, what has changed here is Mythos, the model that Anthropic now has …”

A powerful AI model that is the subject of safety concerns and international lobbying efforts.

“True, but I think the Trump administration was always out on a limb here in a really weird way. Like, we have talked a lot recently about what the surveys show when it comes to the public opinion of AI in America. Republicans and Democrats are, like, largely a…”

A powerful AI model that is the subject of international access debates and security concerns.

“Yeah. I think... Like, I am just very unsure where all of this settles out, because I can imagine, you know, Trump wanting to go to China and make a bunch of deals, and obviously Jensen Huang and Nvidia wanna be able to sell their chips in China. And so I can …”

An AI model used for cybersecurity research and identifying code vulnerabilities.

“I wanna understand a little bit more about the defense side of this now that you have access to th- this Mythos model. There's been a lot, uh, written about it. It's the subject of much, uh, debate at the highest levels-”

An AI model that demonstrated future capabilities and triggered discussions about vulnerability patching.

“Yeah, I, I look at it slightly from a longer term perspective. I think what the Mythos model showed is what the art of the possible is going to be in the future once we are compute unconstrained or we have better models in the future which are trained better. …”

An advanced AI model with unique compute-consumptive 'ultra mode' capabilities that is not yet generally available.

“Well, Mythos is... But Mythos has another unique property which it perhaps goes towards your conversation about constraints, is that Mythos runs in ultra mode. Ultra mode is a compute-consumptive mode which allows the model to persist for much longer than the …”

A new AI model previewed by Anthropic that is being tested for its role in cybersecurity.

“Yes. So we have talked about Claude Mythos Preview, the model that Anthropic, uh, did not release widely but released to a select group of companies and open source maintainers. And today we're actually gonna talk to someone who has used Mythos and who has bee…”

A highly capable AI model that required a phased release strategy due to its potential dual-use risks in cybersecurity.

“The release of Mythos was such an interesting moment. It was the first time many people, friends of mine that are careful watchers of this stuff, said something like, "This one kinda makes me scared." So it relates back to the safety question. It's also the fi…”

A recent model release mentioned as evidence that scaling laws are continuing to produce progress.

“We do see progress accelerating. I can't speak for other companies, but for us, the scaling laws are alive and well, and we're seeing that with releases more recently like Mythos. But right now, within the company, ninety plus percent of our code is actually w…”

Mentioned as a subject the current administration is concerned about regarding regulation.

“Not in this administration, for sure. Even though they're sort of making noises about it now, 'cause they're scared of Mythos, but-”

A book by Trungpa Rinpoche that contains a chapter on the value of boredom.

“That's-- Okay. Yes, absolutely. I was kinda jumping ahead, I guess, a little bit in terms of what I was saying. One of the things Trungpa Rinpoche says in Myth of Freedom is he has a whole chapter called Boredom, and the chapter is about what a wonderful thing…”
