Anthropic Limits Mythos Model Release in Bid to Stave Off Hacks

Anthropic PBC is limiting the release of its latest artificial intelligence model to a handful of major technology firms, warning that the system may be capable of powering cyberattacks if software makers don’t have a chance to test it against their own defenses first.

Anthropic said Tuesday that it’s forming an initiative called Project Glasswing with Amazon.com Inc., Apple Inc., Microsoft Corp., Cisco Systems Inc. and other organizations. The companies will get access to the new Anthropic model known as Mythos so they can test it against their own products and hunt for vulnerabilities. The idea is that the group will collectively share findings with peers.
