imjustnewatai · x · 2026-08-15

Anthropic's 186-page risk report reveals an internal "Model 2" that significantly outperforms Mythos 5. On an internal benchmark diagnosing real infrastructure issues, Model 2 scored 62.8% versus Mythos 5's 50.3%. Anthropic estimates that 85% would allow a model to fully substitute for technical staff and potentially lead to Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI). Both models now run as persistent research agents, with Claude writing the majority of merged production code.
