They claim it surpasses all but the most skilled human experts, finding bugs that have existed for decades in systems like Linux and OpenBSD. They are only giving access to a select group of elite partners (Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc.) under a new initiative called "Project Glass Wing."

Is Mythos so good .... it's bad? 😳

According to Anthropic, yes, it is. 

If you missed this one, Anthropic has created a model that has such great cyber capabilities, that it's a legit weapon waiting to destroy and the world isn't ready. 

So mostly no one will get it. 

So Anthropic is doing the good, responsible thing here, right? 

Or, is this a more calculated move to paint Anthropic as the hero, right as it recovers from a generationally bad data leak and right before a potential IPO?
