Brussels has finally obtained access to Anthropic's most powerful model, whose availability had been restricted due to its advanced hacking capabilities. But the request took over three months to bear fruit.

"Following our constructive engagement with Anthropic, we can confirm that the EU's cybersecurity agency ENISA has been granted access to Mythos 5 and is testing it now," said the European Commission's spokesperson for tech sovereignty, Thomas Regnier.

In April, the leading AI lab launched a preview of Mythos 5, a model capable of identifying and exploiting cyber vulnerabilities with unprecedented speed, making it a formidable hacking tool.
