Anthropic says Claude helped find cryptographic weaknesses, amid chain-of-thought debate
basedjensen · x · 2026-07-29
- Anthropic says Claude Mythos Preview helped researchers discover weaknesses in cryptographic algorithms used to protect data.
- The thread is also a rebuttal to criticism about a shared “chain of thought” document: the linked document was rewritten and narrated for clarity, not a raw transcript.
- The image makes the point explicit: the document is a rewrite of the original discovery process, preserving actions one-for-one but summarizing the programs and outputs Claude produced.
- In short, the post mixes a research claim about cryptography with a transparency debate over how Anthropic presented the chain-of-thought material.
