Anthropic keeps new AI model private after it finds thousands of external vulnerabilities

Anthropic's AI model reveals critical cybersecurity vulnerabilities.

Anthropic has decided to keep its Claude Mythos Preview AI model private after it uncovered thousands of cybersecurity vulnerabilities across major operating systems and web browsers. Instead of a public release, the company is collaborating with key partners, including Amazon Web Services and Google, to address these vulnerabilities, committing up to $100 million in usage credits for cybersecurity efforts. The model's advanced capabilities have raised concerns about potential misuse, as it can autonomously exploit vulnerabilities, including a significant 17-year-old flaw in FreeBSD.
