Tech giant Anthropic is working on a new AI model.
Anthropic is developing a new AI model that is more capable than any it has previously released.
The AI company confirmed the existence of the new model — understood to be called Claude Mythos — after details of its development were inadvertently leaked via an unsecured and publicly accessible data cache, which was discovered by Fortune magazine.
An Anthropic spokesperson told Fortune: “We’re developing a general purpose model with meaningful advances in reasoning, coding, and cybersecurity. Given the strength of its capabilities, we’re being deliberate about how we release it. We consider this model a step change and the most capable we’ve built to date.”
The AI company said the model is currently being tested by a small group of early access customers and is not yet ready for general release, partly due to its cost to run and cybersecurity concerns.
According to the leaked draft blog post reviewed by Fortune, the model is “currently far ahead of any other AI model in cyber capabilities” — raising fears it could be exploited by hackers to run large-scale cyberattacks.
Anthropic confirmed the data leak was the result of “human error” in the configuration of its content management system, and the company removed public access to the data store after being alerted by Fortune.
