NSA Using Anthropic's Withheld Mythos Model for Vulnerability Scanning
The NSA is using Anthropic's Mythos Preview, a frontier AI model withheld from public release due to its offensive cyberattack capabilities. The model, announced earlier this month, was limited to around 40 organizations with only a dozen publicly named. The UK's AI Security Institute also has access. This comes after the Pentagon labeled Anthropic a 'supply chain risk' when the company refused to allow mass domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons development. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei met with White House officials last Friday.
