I wonder if it coincidentally becomes safe to release when compute capacity bought from SpaceX will provide enough headroom to let a lot more people run it.

It seems like Mythos is often (or typically?) costing $20k per vulnerability, so I don't think there will be enough compute capacity in the world any time soon to let a lot more people use it the way Glasswing is using it. That is not to say I think they are exaggerating its capabilities. That $20k is presumably the rough cost of renting the GPUs, and there are not enough GPUs in the world.
I'm not sure if current pricing correlates with actual compute cost.
what's the origin of your $20k/vuln estimate?
It's the same as the origin of "Codex/Opus subscription usage is heavily subsidized" - the sales departments equipped with AI agents with the prompt: "use anonymous accounts on the internet to make it easy for me to sell it at $price".
"available to qualifying customers’ security teams on request." Seems they're already expanding access.
Total speculation: As the software world shakes out the many hidden vulns in their software, big AI will try to limit the access while it gets ironed out. Once the big projects/systems are reasonably patched after being vetted by SOTA models, the models will be released to the public. I don't think there's a scenario where Mythos-level or better models stay closed permanently.
The problem for Anthropic, is that ChatGPT-5.5 is noticeably better than Opus 4.7. The longer they hold back Mythos, the more people will drop their Claude subscription (I have) in favor of an OpenAI subscription.
stop noticing things, chud.
