Report: NSA is currently using Anthropic’s unreleased Mythos model
According to the Pentagon, Anthropic’s AI tools are a national security supply chain risk, and have been banned for defense applications.
But a new report says the National Security Agency, which operates as a part of the Pentagon, is currently busy using Anthropic’s new, unreleased AI model, Mythos.
Axios reports that Mythos’ reputed advanced offensive cyber capabilities have compelled the NSA to begin using it, despite the public blacklisting from the Pentagon, which Anthropic is suing the US government over.
Anthropic has granted access to a small number of trusted partners to test and prepare for the expected explosion of vulnerabilities to be discovered using the new AI model. UK intelligence agencies have also reportedly gained access to Mythos.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei reportedly visited the White House last week to try and resolve the dispute on allowing wider use of the company’s technology in the federal government.
