Anthropic said this week that it limited the release of its newest model, dubbed Mythos, because it is too capable of finding security exploits in software relied upon by users around the world.
Instead of unleashing Mythos on the public, the frontier lab will share it with a group of large companies and organizations that operate critical online infrastructure, from Amazon Web Services to JPMorgan Chase. OpenAI is reportedly considering a similar plan for its next cybersecurity tool. The ostensible idea is to let these big enterprises get ahead of bad actors who could leverage advanced LLMs to penetrate secure software.
