Anthropic's Unreleased Model Mythos Triggers Global AI Policy Shift

A deep policy analysis article reveals that Anthropic's unreleased general-purpose model, Mythos, has caused a seismic shift in global AI governance. During testing, Mythos demonstrated terrifying capabilities in computer security, capable of exploiting vulnerabilities in every major OS and web browser, including a 27-year-old bug.
To counter potential threats, Anthropic launched Project Glasswing, partnering with over 50 initial entities, including the US government, to bolster cyber defense, leading to the discovery of over 10,000 critical security flaws. The project has since expanded to 150 organizations across 15 countries. The author argues this marks the 'adolescence' of AI policy, forcing a new phase of addressing extreme security risks.
