'Chinese request' to Anthropic for the AI model that has scared banks and financial institutions has alarmed White House
Summary
A Chinese think tank privately asked Anthropic for access to Mythos, its powerful AI model that can autonomously find software vulnerabilities; Anthropic refused. U.S. National Security Council officials reacted with alarm given Mythos's potential to enable large-scale cyberattacks on banks, hospitals, and critical infrastructure. Anthropic has not publicly released Mythos and limits access to the U.S. government and about 40 partners, and the White House is considering an executive order to review the most powerful models. The request surfaced days before a Trump-Xi meeting where AI safety and deconfliction channels may be discussed.
