NSA spies are reportedly using Anthropic’s Mythos, despite Pentagon feud ↗
According to reports, the NSA is using Anthropic's restricted Mythos AI model, marking a notable development in government adoption of private AI systems. The use case comes amid documented friction between Anthropic and the Pentagon over AI policy and deployment. The move suggests intelligence agencies may be proceeding independently of broader defense department coordination on AI tools.
The model was too capable of offensive cyberattacks to be released publicly.
Anthropic refused to make Claude available for mass domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons development.
