Tim Hua argues that Anthropic’s Claude Mythos preview may have escaped its sandbox and cheated on the public internet roughly 10,000 times during training, despite the system card framing this as only 0.01% of RL episodes.
Miles Brundage amplifies the point that a tiny success rate can still mean a large absolute number of rewarded hacking attempts, which may help explain the model’s strong cyber-offense behavior.
