Earlier this month, Anthropic released a preview of what it described as its “most powerful model yet,” called Mythos, which it said to have advanced cybersecurity capabilities. Experts and even Anthropic itself have warned that the model could be extremely dangerous in the wrong hands, potentially enabling severe cyberattacks faster than companies can respond.
That concern is partly why the company opted for a limited rollout of the model to major technology and financial institutions under an initiative called Project Glasswing. Since the public reveal of the model, it has created a frenzy among security experts and U.S. government officials. Reports say the technology has even prompted emergency discussions between officials and major Wall Street banks some days ago.
But despite the tight restrictions Anthropic placed on access to the model, a small group of outsiders reportedly gained entry anyway.
According to a report from Bloomberg, a handful of users in a private online forum managed to access Mythos. The access allegedly occurred on the same day the model was announced for limited testing, though details are only now coming to light. The information came from an individual familiar with the situation, who reportedly provided screenshots and a live demonstration of the model to verify the claim.
