Summary
Venture capitalist Simon Dedic said Anthropic’s latest AI models drop the cost and skill needed to find crypto exploits to “zero.” AI company Anthropic on Tuesday released the first public version of its powerful Claude Mythos model, called Fable 5, with some crypto users worried it could be used for malicious purposes, despite embedded guardrails. Anthropic said last month that its Mythos model uncovered more than 10,000 high or critical-severity vulnerabilities in “systemically important software,” leading many to question if it should be publicly released. This was despite the company saying on Tuesday that Fable 5 was “made safe for general use,” and has safeguards that reroute some topics, such as cybersecurity, to a different model, Claude Opus 4.8. The guardrails have done little to reassure crypto users, with AI increasingly being used to attack crypto platforms.
