White House to give US agencies Anthropic Mythos access, Bloomberg News reports [View all]

Source: Reuters

The U.S. government is planning to make a version of Anthropic's frontier AI model Mythos available to major federal agencies amid ​concerns that the tool could sharply increase cybersecurity risk, Bloomberg ‌News reported on Thursday.

Announced on April 7, Mythos is being deployed as part of Anthropic's "Project Glasswing," a controlled initiative as part of which select organizations are ​permitted to use the unreleased Claude Mythos Preview model for defensive ​cybersecurity purposes.

Mythos has found "thousands" of major vulnerabilities in operating ⁠systems, web browsers and other software. Its capabilities to code at ​a high level have given it a potentially unprecedented ability to identify cybersecurity ​vulnerabilities and devise ways to exploit them, experts said.

Gregory Barbaccia, federal chief information officer at the White House Office of Management and Budget, told Cabinet department officials ​in an email on Tuesday that the OMB was setting up ​protections to allow their agencies to begin using Mythos, according to Bloomberg News.

WTF is wrong with Anthropic's CEO? Amodei tells everyone how dangerous this AI model is, and now he's giving it to Trump regime agencies whose top people are incompetent at best, and in many cases corrupt and evil and already actively undermining our democracy and environment, and harming other countries as well.

Is this some kind of insane deal with Trump to get the regime to stop labeling Anthropic a supply chain risk?
