NSA Prepares Anthropic Mythos for Use in Cyber Operations

Colleagues — a note for the cybersecurity community: media report the NSA has engaged Anthropic engineers to work with the Mythos model.

- Financial Times and Axios say roughly half a dozen engineers are assisting deployment of Mythos for various tasks.
- It remains unclear whether the model or personnel are being used in real-world intrusions; the NSA declines to comment.
- This unfolds amid bans and Anthropic’s designation as a “supplier risk.”

Why this matters: government access to advanced models alters the risk profile for companies and regulators.
