Why Anthropic are too scared to release their new model, Mythos

On Wednesday, the US Treasury Secretary and the chair of the Federal Reserve called an emergency meeting with the CEOs of America's largest banks. Not about interest rates. Not about inflation. About an AI model. Anthropic built something that finds and exploits security flaws in virtually any software it's pointed at — bugs that the best human researchers in the world had missed for decades. And then they decided not to sell it.In this episode of In The Loop, I'm walking through what Anthropic's Mythos model actually did, why the sceptics make some sharp points about the timing and the headline numbers, and why the way this was handled — a private company forming a private coalition with no democratic input — tells you more about where AI governance stands than the model itself.⏭️ Episode highlights(01:00) – Zero-days found in minutes(02:30) – A FreeBSD bug hiding since 2009(03:45) – Visit a webpage, lose your machine(05:00) – Eleven-cent models spotted the same bugs(07:00) – Jack Clark's arc from GPT-2 to Glasswing(08:30) – Real danger and great PR coexist(09:15) – A coalition named after a butterfly(11:00) – Six months until the gap closesIf you enjoyed this episode, rate, follow, and share.
