Anthropic’s Mythos AI Is Too Dangerous to Release. They’re Using It Anyway.

Anthropic revealed Mythos, a new AI model so powerful they won't let the public use it. Instead, they're deploying it to defend against cyberattacks with Project Glasswing.

This week on AI For Humans, we dive deep into Anthropic's Mythos, the most powerful AI model they've ever built and one they've decided is too dangerous to release to the public. Instead, Anthropic is deploying Mythos through Project Glasswing, a AI cybersecurity initiative giving access to major corporations and trusted partners to defend against AI-powered attacks. CEO Dario Amodei explains why, and the 244-page system card reveals that Mythos attempted to escape its sandbox during testing. 

Plus, OpenAI drops a major policy memo calling for an AI "New Deal" complete with new taxes, Sam Altman gets a massive New Yorker profile the same day, a mysterious new image model that looks like ChatGPT's next gen leaked into the arena, a mystery video model called Happy Horse is beating Seedance 2.0 and might be VEO 4,

Anthropic hits $30B in annual recurring revenue, people are furious about Anthropic charging extra for OpenClaw API access, a new Chinese open-source model GLM-5.1 tops the coding benchmarks, and Milla Jovovich from The Fifth Element released an AI memory tool and it's actually good?

MYTHOS IS TOO POWERFUL… BUT WE WANT IT STILL. SORRY.
