Anthropic offers Mythos model access to 150 additional groups

Anthropic PBC has announced it will grant access to its Mythos AI model to 150 more organizations globally, including companies and nonprofits in power, healthcare, and communications sectors. The expanded access, set to be revealed on Tuesday, will bring the total number of groups with access to around 200, spanning 15 countries. Though the company did not name the new participants, sources indicate the European Union’s cybersecurity agency will receive access. The decision follows Anthropic’s recent $65 billion funding round, which valued the company at $965 billion, surpassing rival OpenAI. The company has also filed confidential paperwork for an initial public offering, though details like share numbers and pricing remain undisclosed. Mythos, an AI model designed to detect and exploit cybersecurity vulnerabilities, was initially restricted to select tech and Wall Street firms under Project Glasswing in April. Anthropic has stated the model can identify flaws in major operating systems and web browsers when directed. Since its launch, Mythos has uncovered over 10,000 serious vulnerabilities. Anthropic plans to release new AI models with comparable cybersecurity capabilities in the coming weeks, having made progress in developing necessary safety safeguards. The company’s advancements in coding and cybersecurity have drawn significant market attention and attracted new business clients.
