My comment is a completely unsubstantiated conspiracy theory: the choice of model name, Mythos, seems out of character for Anthropic models, and one can easily wonder if the model truly exists as the name suggests. It could instead be a symbolic model used by colluding companies (and perhaps even governments) to establish a reference limit upon what models will be publicly accessible, period. Probably a terrible theory as it could spell doom for frontier model developing companies' business models -- setting the bar already would likely commodify LLMs via open source models quite quickly. But the name "Mythos" is such a strange choice for this model and the circumstances surrounding its release.
