"Anthropic announced Mythos as a frontier model designed for cybersecurity tasks, but claimed the model was too capable of offensive cyberattacks to be released publicly. As a result, access was limited to around 40 organizations."
"The NSA appears to be among the undisclosed recipients of Mythos, primarily using it for scanning environments for exploitable vulnerabilities. The UK's AI Security Institute has also confirmed access to Mythos."
"The Pentagon's dispute with Anthropic originated when the company refused to make Claude available for mass domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons development, raising concerns about national security."
"Recent meetings between Anthropic's chief executive and White House officials indicate a thawing relationship with the Trump administration, with reports suggesting the meeting was productive."
The NSA is utilizing Anthropic's Mythos Preview model, which was withheld from public release due to its potential for offensive cyberattacks. Anthropic limited access to around 40 organizations, including the NSA and the UK's AI Security Institute. The U.S. military's use of Anthropic's tools coincides with the company's legal arguments regarding national security threats. Tensions arose when Anthropic refused to allow unrestricted access to its models for military purposes. Recent meetings between Anthropic's CEO and White House officials suggest a warming relationship with the administration.
