Ex-Anthropic researcher Coxon says Mythos could be retrained with a fraction of the compute

Former OpenAI and Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon told The Decoder why he left Anthropic: citing a slide from the company's IPO roadshow, he argues its algorithms are improving at an accelerating rate — Anthropic could already retrain Mythos with "a fraction of the compute originally needed."
Coxon continues to call for a pause on frontier model development, arguing competitors should be allowed to catch up so human-level AI becomes a commodity rather than a moat.
