My big question around the Mythos FUD, is this: if we take for fact the Mythos is as powerful and dangerous as we’re being told (and I realize this is part marketing), and because of that Anthropic isn’t going to release it…how long can that last? Isn’t it reasonable that OpenAI or xAI or some other company - or foreign government - will come up with a similarly dangerous model fairly soon?

So what’s Anthropic’s plan here? How long can they withhold releasing Mythos or something Mythos-like? Is it reasonable to think they - or another AI provider - are going to dumb down future models so they’re less dangerous? I personally don’t think that’s the case.

I’m not saying Anthropic should or shouldn’t release Mythos, but it leaves me wonderingwhat’s going to be different in, say, 6 months or even a year when they or another provider releases a model as dangerous as we’re being told Mythos is?
