Summary
The National Security Agency is said to be using Mythos Preview, Anthropic’s recently announced model that it withheld from public release, Axios reports. Anthropic announced Mythos earlier this month as a frontier model designed for cybersecurity tasks, but claimed the model was too capable of offensive cyberattacks to be released publicly. The U.S. military’s expanding use of Anthropic’s tools comes as it simultaneously argues in court that those tools can threaten national security. The NSA’s access to Mythos comes as Anthropic’s relationship with the Trump administration appears to be thawing.
