Anthropic appears to be preparing for the public rollout of "Mythos," which was announced in April as a restricted model that poses major security risks to private and public software.

On April 7, Anthropic announced the Mythos in early preview and called it a new frontier model with strikingly advanced capabilities in computer security tasks.

Anthropic said the Mythos model shows major improvements in code reasoning and autonomy, far above its current flagship model, Opus 4.7.

Coding improvements aren't new for AI models, but in the case of Mythos, Anthropic found that the model can automatically develop functional cyberattacks at a highly professional level.

The company also claimed its rollout poses a severe risk to global digital infrastructure.
