Anthropic's decision to restrict Mythos to a US consortium rather than public release reflects growing concerns about advanced AI's cybersecurity applications. The model can identify and exploit vulnerabilities, making it a powerful tool for both defense and offense in cyberspace.
In the first of a three-part series on Anthropic's new powerful Mythos AI model, we look at its impact on Chinese AI, cybersecurity and competition with the US. US start-up Anthropic announced its latest artificial intelligence model Claude Mythos Preview on April 7, sparking an unprecedented global response among policymakers and regulators due to its powerful ability to identify and exploit cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Instead of a public release, Anthropic released Mythos to a consortium of US companies including Cisco, JPMorgan Chase and Nvidia to use the model to secure their critical software in an initiative called Project Glasswing. How do Chinese models compare? According to Beijing-based consultancy Concordia AI, China's primarily open-source models still lag closed-source US models in their cyber capabilities. However, the rapid progress of Chinese models over the past year has meant that their capabilities are also improving rapidly.
