Ep. 050 | Anthropic Built Something Too Dangerous to Release

Anthropic accidentally leaked the existence of their most powerful AI model ever and then confirmed it is real but too dangerous to release broadly.The model is called Claude Mythos. It sits in an entirely new tier above Opus, internally called Capybara. According to Anthropic's own leaked draft blog post, Mythos dramatically outperforms Claude Opus 4.6 in coding, academic reasoning, and especially cybersecurity -- so much so that Anthropic says releasing it broadly right now could do more harm than good.Michael and Frank break down what the leak actually revealed, why Anthropic is hitting the brakes on their own breakthrough, and what this moment means for small business owners who are still treating AI as something to look into later. The gap between businesses using AI and those sitting it out is already significant. When Capybara-level models hit the market, that gap becomes a canyon.Topics: Claude Mythos · Anthropic AI leak · Capybara model tier · AI cybersecurity risks · AI for small business · AI adoption strategy---Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is Claude Mythos?Claude Mythos is Anthropic's most powerful AI model to date, accidentally revealed through an internal data leak. It sits in a new model tier called Capybara -- above Opus -- and dramatically outperforms existing models in coding, reasoning, and cybersecurity.Why isn't Anthropic releasing Claude Mythos publicly?Anthropic says Mythos is currently far ahead of every other AI model in cybersecurity capabilities, creating serious dual-use risks. They are taking a deliberately slow rollout approach, currently testing with a small group of enterprise customers.What does the Claude Mythos leak mean for small businesses?It signals that the next tier of AI capability is real, ready, and already being tested by large enterprises. Small businesses that get fluent with current AI tools now will be far better positioned when these next-generation models become broadly available.---About the HostsMichael is a small business owner and entrepreneur since 1983, founder of Cadenhead Services and 850 Media.
