Frontier AI labs are converging on a new strategy for controlling their most cyber-capable models while still commercializing them: selective access.
Key facts
- Anthropic announced Tuesday it will make a version of its Mythos class of models, Fable 5, available to the general public
- The intrigue: Anthropic is also working on a formal trusted-access program that would determine who gets access to Mythos 5 and future less restricted models
- Frontier AI labs are converging on a new strategy for controlling their most cyber-capable models while still commercializing them: selective access
- It's now up to the AI labs to decide who gets access to the cybersecurity industry's most cutting-edge capabilities
Summary
OpenAI's trusted-access program and a pending program from Anthropic are creating a new power center in cybersecurity where AI companies help decide which defenders can use the most advanced cyber capabilities. For decades, competitive advantage in cybersecurity largely came from talent, data and infrastructure. Anthropic announced Tuesday it will make a version of its Mythos class of models, Fable 5, available to the general public. Fable 5 includes protections that block some high-risk cybersecurity and biology requests and instead route users who ask about those issues to Claude Opus 4.8.
