The Facts

- Administration officials’ objections were tied to security concerns about widening access to Mythos.
- Some U.S. officials were also concerned that Anthropic might not have enough computing power to serve more Mythos users without affecting the government’s ability to use the model.
- Mythos has been distributed through a restricted-access program rather than released publicly.
- The White House is involved in Mythos’ rollout because officials view the model as posing national-security and cybersecurity risks tied to its ability to find and exploit software vulnerabilities.
