For those of you who have been questioning the power and impact of Mythos, claiming the initial restricted use (Project Glasswing) was just a marketing ploy, I urge you to reconsider and listen to cybersecurity experts.

The Mythos Effect is real. It is a signal of change across the industry, forced by the order-of-magnitude performance in finding and exploiting vulnerabilities by a new generation of AI models (soon from several vendors).

Anthropic is acting ethically, but unfortunately, such performance gains cannot be contained for long. Every major AI vendor is pursuing towards this level of competency, which impacts security capabilities to respond and close weaknesses before they are exploited.

I expect US-based AI companies like OpenAI and Grok to achieve similar vulnerability scanning performance within weeks and the ability to autonomously build exploits shortly thereafter. The Chinese AI companies will follow soon after and will likely be providing early copies of their equally capable models to their government within a few months. Timelines get compressed with AI development, simply because of the momentum of using previous tools to help build subsequent models.
