Ep 752: Why Anthropic’s New Mythos Model is Terrifying and How it May Change How Business Gets Done


Is Mythos so good .... it's bad? 😳

According to Anthropic, yes, it is.

If you missed this one, Anthropic has created a model that has such great cyber capabilities, that it's a legit weapon waiting to destroy and the world isn't ready.

So mostly no one will get it.

So Anthropic is doing the good, responsible thing here, right?

Or, is this a more calculated move to paint Anthropic as the hero, right as it recovers from a generationally bad data leak and right before a potential IPO?

Also on the pod today:

• Anthropic quarantines Mythos model 🚫 
• 27-year-old OpenBSD bug exposed 🐞 
• Only tech giants get access 🏢

1. Gemini Launches Notebooks for Smarter Project Organization 📓

Google's Gemini app is rolling out a new feature this week: notebooks, designed to help users manage chats and files for complex projects with ease.

Subscribers to Google AI Ultra, Pro, and Plus will get first access on the web, with broader rollout plans in the works. The notebooks sync seamlessly across Gemini and NotebookLM, creating a unified workspace and unlocking advanced AI-powered tools.

2. Meta and CoreWeave Strike $21B AI Cloud Deal 💸

Meta just inked a massive $21 billion agreement with CoreWeave, deepening their partnership to ramp up AI cloud computing power.

The move comes as big tech races to secure the infrastructure needed for advanced AI development, making this one of the largest cloud deals in recent memory. Meta’s investment signals its commitment to staying competitive and resilient in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.

3. Anthropic’s Pentagon Ban Stays—For Now ❌

A federal appeals court in D.C. just rejected Anthropic’s push to pause the Pentagon’s decision labeling the AI firm a supply chain risk, a move that keeps the company sidelined from new Pentagon contracts.

This comes even as a San Francisco judge last month temporarily stopped other federal agencies from cutting ties with Anthropic’s Claude, leaving the company in legal limbo. The split rulings mean Anthropic faces ongoing courtroom drama and uncertainty about its future in sensitive government work.

4. Massive Alleged Hack Hits Chinese Supercomputer, Exposes Defense Secrets 🕵️

A hacker group claims to have pulled off one of the biggest data heists in China’s history, siphoning more than 10 petabytes of sensitive files from the National Supercomputing Center in Tianjin over several months.

The stolen trove reportedly includes highly classified defense documents, missile schematics, and research from top Chinese technology and military institutions. Cybersecurity experts say the breach, if genuine, points to glaring weaknesses in China’s digital defenses, with attackers exploiting basic architecture flaws rather than advanced techniques.

5. Amazon Bets Big on AI, Tells Wall Street to Buckle Up 🤑

In his latest shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy doubled down on the company’s plan to pour a staggering $200 billion into AI infrastructure this year, brushing aside investor anxiety about the cost and timing of returns.

Jassy revealed that Amazon’s cloud AI revenue is already running at a $15 billion annual pace and that their custom chip business is growing at triple-digit rates. Investors seem skeptical, with Amazon’s stock lagging this year, but Jassy insists these bold bets will pay off and transform the company’s future profits.

6. Claude’s Mythos Model Rattles Software Stocks Again 📉

A fresh wave of anxiety hit the tech sector after Anthropic’s launch of its powerful new Claude Mythos AI model, which sparked fears about cybersecurity risks and the future of traditional software.

Major U.S. software stocks, including big names like Zscaler, Adobe, and Salesforce, took a steep dive as investors worried that advanced AI could undermine the industry’s foundations. The tumble comes as Wall Street rethinks its once-bullish stance on software, with added concerns about the stability of private credit markets tied to tech companies.

The 0.1% who can?

They’re part of the new Project Glasswing: Apple. Google. Microsoft. NVIDIA. And 40 other companies quietly hardening the world's critical software before the rest of us figure out what happened.

Anthropic’s new Mythos Preview ain't a chatbot upgrade. Anthropic thinks it could be a legit dangerous cyber threat that could do more harm than good. 

 They say it found a 27-year-old flaw in OpenBSD, a 16-year-old FFmpeg vulnerability automated testing hit countless times and never caught, and chained Linux kernel bugs to hand a random user complete machine control. They say their new Mythos model found thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities that millions of humans have never found. Every major OS. Every major browser. In weeks.

But, Anthropic may never release this model to everyone. 

For the first time in the LLM era, the democratization of AI may get quietly buried. We broke down what the haves vs. have-nots divide means for your company on today's Everyday AI.

The Project Glasswing companies are working with technology in a GENUINELY different tier. 

The rest of us? Yesterday's tools.

Here’s what it all means.

1. The Tool Your Competitors Got Early 🔥

It just kinda became one anyway.

The model found a 27-year-old flaw in OpenBSD. One of the most security-hardened systems on the planet. It caught a 16-year-old FFmpeg vulnerability that automated tools hit 5,000,000 times and never flagged. Then it chained Linux kernel bugs to escalate an ordinary user to complete machine control.

Anthropic says Mythos can surpass all but the most elite human experts at finding and exploiting software vulnerabilities. SWE-bench Verified? Jumped from Opus's 80% to 93.9%.

That's why they're keeping it locked. They say the fallout for economies, public safety, and national security if this gets out before defenders are ready could be severe. So it went to Apple, Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA, AWS, JPMorgan Chase, CrowdStrike, and Palo Alto Networks first.

Cooked. But also kinda the right call.

Try This

Start the actual security conversation with your team this week. Not the compliance checkbox version. The real one where someone is genuinely accountable for your patching schedule.

Ask your IT lead: what is our patching cadence across every critical system? If they pause before answering, that pause is your action item.

Start the deepfake conversation with family and trusted contacts now. Once something this capable reaches wrong hands, fake calls and messages stop being a future problem. That becomes next Tuesday.

2. The AI Haves vs. Have-Nots Is Real ⚡

For three-plus years, everybody worked with basically the same frontier AI.

That era is cooked. And that matters way more than most people realize.

Project Glasswing gives Apple, Google, Microsoft, AWS, NVIDIA, CrowdStrike, JPMorgan Chase, and Palo Alto Networks access to Mythos Preview with $100,000,000 in usage credits. Every major AI and tech company on the planet except OpenAI has a seat at this table. These organizations are running Mythos in active security operations right now while the rest of us work with Opus.

And Anthropic has been quietly using Mythos internally since February. That's prolly why they've been shipping updates faster than anyone could track. The model is literally developing the other models. The companies on the right side of this are ALREADY compounding advantages most of us won't see for a very long time. That's the actual canyon.

Try This

Audit what AI tier your company is actually on. Pull out your stack and ask: are we running the best model we have access to, or the one IT approved two budget cycles ago?

If you're on legacy setups, you're already behind the Glasswing companies. You can't close that particular gap. But you can absolutely close your own internal one.

Double down on the best AI you do have access to. Real training. Real use cases. Real implementation. Not a Lunch and Learn where someone explains what ChatGPT is.

3. Double Down Before the Window Closes 🚀

Here's the reality nobody's saying out loud.

Anthropic says they may NEVER release Mythos Preview to the general public. Permanently withheld. And even if Mythos-class capabilities eventually reach the market, competitors will distill and replicate the moment anything leaks or gets released.

This may be the new normal. The most powerful models staying behind velvet ropes while everyone else fights over last year's frontier.

OpenAI is finishing a model codenamed Spud that CEO Sam Altman told employees could really accelerate the economy. Google won 2025. Anthropic is winning 2026. The gap between the public tier and the private tier gets gnarlier every month that passes. And unlike most business problems, this one does not get easier to close with time.

Your edge right now ain't waiting on access you won't have. It's building muscle memory, systems, and workflows so your team is ready the moment better models become available.

Try This

Make AI education genuinely non-negotiable this quarter. Not a pilot program for one department. Not optional PD. Teams compounding AI skills over the next six months are gonna operate at a fundamentally different level than those who simply waited.

Identify two or three workflows where AI could cut the most friction and assign someone actual ownership of implementation this month. Not evaluation. Implementation.

Start compounding now. Before Deborah in procurement retires to Florida and takes her workaround knowledge with her.
