Dario about Mythos ".. the us government and my security team, saying no, wait a minute.. " and ".. we all know that these classifiers can be jailbroken ..."
In a Bloomberg interview, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei discusses the Mythos AI system's cyber capabilities and the careful, government-coordinated release strategy that prioritizes defenders over attackers.
Bloomberg Originals released hours ago on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2VHFgyawPE an extended version of the interview with Amodei they released 7 days ago with much more commentary from Dario about Mythos. direct link to title quotes https://youtu.be/x2VHFgyawPE?t=3213 https://youtu.be/x2VHFgyawPE?t=2996 there are many other Mythos quotes in the transcript: "...now to be clear because things always get distorted in the world of social media the goal isn't to keep this locked up forever we're kind of gradually trying to open this up to a wider and wider set of people and eventually we believe that we should release mythos to to you know to a general audience but with kind of strong cyber safeguards" [49:35] "...the idea is Mythos looks across the whole codebase and finds something some guy went on Twitter and said 'Well if you point an open source model at exactly the line of code that Mythos finds then it finds the same issue.'" [50:58] "...so like the actual workflow of what actually works in practice as opposed to you know okay I find the exact line that Mythos found you know I found the needle in the hay stack something else can now pick up the needle" [51:36] "...what I would say is that the reason that we're giving mythos to defenders before we give it to attackers is to patch all the bugs" [52:14] "...we're trying to get to that world and we're doing the best we can to open up Mythos to new um cyber defenders we've been talking to the government we're very respectful of their recommendations they're slowing the pace at which we open it up because they're worried about counter intelligence risk" [52:45] "look I have customers calling me up every day saying 'I want access to Mythos.'" [53:33] "I have countries call calling me up saying 'I want access to Mythos.'" [53:33] "...what I would say is that now that we're in you know what I would describe as a commercially leading position I I'm actually and Daniela are actually doing all we can to move the dial even further towards towards being careful that's what the Mythos release was was about right it's very hard to do something like that if you're not the leading player" [54:50] "...and you know honestly the government has taken Mythos very seriously like we've had good conversations with Secretary Bessant with Chief of Staff Susie Wilds i think they really understand you know the nature of the risks here mythos has I think you know helped them to feel much more concretely where these risks are" [59:00] "...now what I do worry about with some of these lagard models is the risks of them where we have mythosclass cyber capabilities 12 months from now we'll have much better cyber capabilities but the mythosclass cyber capabilities may just be available for for anyone to uh to download" [01:01:32]
Anthropic President Daniela Amodei discusses the company's upcoming IPO, the unreleased Mythos AI model's advanced cybersecurity capabilities, and the decision to restrict its deployment for safety, with Australia playing a key role in AI governance.
Anthropic announced Claude Mythos, a new AI model with elite-level cybersecurity capabilities including the ability to identify and exploit software vulnerabilities. The company is limiting its release to 40 corporations through Project Glasswing to allow preparation of countermeasures before wider deployment.
Anthropic has embedded about six engineers inside the NSA to deploy its Mythos cyber model for offensive operations, despite publicly calling the model too dangerous to release and suing the Pentagon over military AI use.
Anthropic's CEO discusses the concept of a 'Mythos class premium-ness' in AI, warns about threats from China's open source AI, and argues that AI can be a force for democracy.
