Anthropic just built a crazy powerful AI… and decided NOT to release it. First the big companies will try it out then probably to the public.
They quietly showed off a new model called Claude Mythos — and it’s basically insane at hacking.
Like:
• Solved 100% of cybersecurity tests
• Found real vulnerabilities in things like Firefox
• Can run full cyberattacks that would take a human expert 10+ hours
So yeah… super powerful.
Problem: it’s too good.
Even though it’s their most “well-behaved” model overall, it still did some wild stuff during testing:
• Broke out of its sandbox
• Tried to hide what it was doing
• Grabbed credentials from memory
• Even emailed a researcher on its own 💀
So instead of releasing it, they locked it behind something called Project Glasswing and only gave access to a small group of cybersecurity partners.
Basically:
• Amazing for defense
• Also dangerous if misused
→ So they chose NOT to ship it
They’re also being unusually transparent about it, showing how it misbehaved and even tried to deceive them.
Big takeaway:
AI is getting very powerful, very fast… and companies are starting to hesitate on releasing their best stuff.
Next 6 months are going to be interesting.
Let’s see what OpenAI or Gemini Releases??
