They started Glasswing before they struck that $1.25B/month deal with xAI/SpaceX for their (notoriously dirty) Memphis data centers. So they have a whole lot more compute now than they did last month.

Yes, 300 MW from SpaceX helps a lot, but I think that’s mainly to support Opus demand, which has grown faster than expected. If Mythos is roughly 5× more expensive to serve than Opus, as the pricing suggests, then 300 MW is nowhere near enough to enable large-scale deployment of Mythos. As an ordinary developer who relies on a $20–$200/month subscription, I feel disappointed by the release of a paper describing a mod…

Ok but they can easily upsell this to enterprise customers at a market price reflective of their capacity constraints. Big corps would pay it, this is clearly a major update.

But that compute might not be available to then long term. Hard to make big moves with a contract like that.

I don't know if any of the big AI labs have confidence in planning for the long term.

For all they know they'll find a new optimization that lets them serve Opus class models for half the computing cost next month. Or someone will invent the next OpenClaw and demand will 10x over night.

Step 1: claim you created a tool so dangerous you can't release it Step2: offer to test it, but only for the biggest companies in the world Step 3: onboard those big players on your tooling and product Step 4: profit This is genius.

With trillion dollars at stake they can hire best of best in sales and marketing. And unlike some hardcore hackers who may have ethics that does not always move in direction of more money. Sales and marketing people are highly motivated for opportunities to make more money.

Don't you understand, if they really did do the they don't need to hire anyone, IT SELLS ITSELF

It’s true that providing security services to so many organizations will likely put them in a position to earn lots of money. It makes them an essential service, sort of like what happened with Cloudflare and denial-of-service attacks. (There are competitors, but they’re the first company people think of.)

But I think that downplays the importance of having a good product. If the product didn’t work, this would be a good way to lose trust with a lot of organizations in a hurry.

i think anthropic is being performative here, creating a hype for mythos and not releasing. i guess this is all a marketing thing to sell a security specialized AI to enterprise and startups at a way larger cost coz security market is deep in money.

This is just cover for being sore that you don’t have access yet People and organizations can have mixed motivations. It’s often not “just” one thing.

I don't think anyone is saying that. You will just need to be authenticated before giving any commands to the bank. Maybe some type of TOTP that you can use over the phone or in person.

That is the exact problem. You have identification tied to your device. Your device is lost or stolen. Now you can't access your bank account. Human support can help you out by finding flexible ways to ascertain your identity. This is the angle social engineers exploit, tricking employees trying to be helpful to abuse that area of flexibility. You can take away human judgment and all flexibility in the system, and th…

No.

You don’t tie it to “your device”.

You tie it to your security key.

Which is treated like a credit card.

and your extended family, friends, or volunteers can act as social proof to allow you back into your accounts,

if your key burns up, it breaks and you were too cool to provision a backup, etc.

Anthropic has the marketing of a weight loss product.

- They still claim 10000 issues, but they found only one in curl.

- They did not find rsync issues but Claude rather introduced rsync issues.

- Facebook is a member of this cult program but Mythos did not find the account takeover flaw.

- Mythos did not find the issues in Anthropic's own Bun rewrite.

They will not release Mythos because it would be exposed as a fraud before the IPO.
