Beyond patching: Building a Mythos-ready security program
When Anthropic revealed the existence of Mythos, the frontier AI model they deemed too dangerous for public release, the security community was alarmed. And it’s not hard to see why: Mythos is capable of detecting software vulnerabilities at a previously unimaginable scale, and autonomously crafting exploits to weaponize these flaws. According to Anthropic, Mythos created 181 exploits of Firefox in testing, ninety times more than the company’s previous model (Claude Opus 4.6).
