White House huddles with tech firms as Mythos raises cyber stakes

The White House is holding a meeting with representatives from tech and cyber companies, including Anthropic and OpenAI, to discuss cybersecurity and AI-related topics. National Cyber Director Sean Cairncross is expected to chair the discussion. Anthropic's newly unveiled AI model, Claude Mythos, is a key focus, with concerns raised about its advanced hacking capabilities. Mythos was announced earlier this month, and only a small group of companies, known as 'Project Glasswing', were allowed to test its bug-hunting capabilities. The meeting follows Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's visit to the White House, where he discussed Mythos with administration officials. Multiple federal agencies have expressed interest in using Mythos to improve their cyber defenses.
