Mythos: The AI model that’s ‘too powerful’ for public release
Are Anthropic's claims about Mythos Preview a watershed moment for AI, or just hype?
Anthropic, one of Silicon Valley’s leading AI firms, have built a new model which they say is too dangerous to be released to the public.
Instead, they are only giving access to Claude Mythos Preview to a handful of big companies to help them find and fix security vulnerabilities. The company says the model has already found weak spots in “every major operating system and web browser�. Is this a genuine example of an AI company acting responsibly, or more of a carefully calibrated publicity move?
We speak to the Âé¶¹Éç’s North America tech correspondent, Lily Jamali, about whether this is a watershed moment for AI.
