OpenMythos: 14.8k-star open reconstruction of the "Claude Mythos" architecture
tom_doerr · x · 2026-08-27
GitHub project OpenMythos by kyegomez, now at 14.8k stars, offers a theoretical reconstruction of Anthropic's rumored "Claude Mythos" architecture built from first principles using public research literature. It is not affiliated with Anthropic.
The implementation uses a Recurrent-Depth Transformer (RDT) with three stages: Prelude (transformer blocks), a looped Recurrent Block (up to maxloopiters), and a final Coda. Attention is switchable between MLA and GQA, and the feed-forward uses a sparse MoE with routed and shared experts — suited for exploring compute-adaptive, depth-variable reasoning. Installable via pip with optional Flash Attention 2 support.
