Can Anthropic Keep Its Exploit-Writing AI Out of the Wrong Hands?

Its Mythos Preview model, which can allegedly find and exploit critical zero-days, also comes with certain controls, the vendor said.

Anthropic's Mythos model promises major innovations in vulnerability management and security red-teaming, but questions remain regarding how defenders can keep threat actors from taking full advantage.

Anthropic on April 7 unveiled Claude Mythos Preview, a general-purpose large language model (LLM) that the company said in a blog post, "performs strongly across the board, but it is strikingly capable at computer security tasks." The AI firm said Mythos could identify and exploit zero-day vulnerabilities in "every major operating system and every major Web browser" at user direction, including subtle and difficult-to-detect ones. One exploit included a patched 27-year-old flaw in OpenBSD. More here
