Anthropic has created an AI model that “can get into almost any software in the world,” former AI company founder and CEO Matt Shumer says — but the company is not releasing it to the public: “I have never seen something like this — a company that is about to IPO and having such a moral compass.” Shumer shares what makes the AI model so powerful and potentially dangerous.

Anthropic's newest AI model, called Mythos, is so powerful, the company says, that it could cause widespread disruption if it's released to the public. For now, Anthropic is giving more than 40 tech companies, including some rivals, access to Mythos to test it and identify vulnerabilities across systems. But that move is raising concerns. Watch Geoff Bennett's conversation with Gerrit De Vynck 🦭.

ANTHROPIC'S NEW AI MODEL "MYTHOS" IS SO POWERFUL THE COMPANY WON'T RELEASE IT TO THE PUBLIC YET Instead, they're giving it to 11 companies first through "Project Glasswing" to find cybersecurity vulnerabilities before bad actors can. The partners: Amazon, Apple, Broadcom, Nvidia, Google, and others. The model wasn't built for cybersecurity. It was built to be an automated AI researcher, an AI that helps build better AI. But those same capabilities make it a serious tool for both offensive and defensive cyber operations. OpenAI reportedly has a similar model codenamed "SPU" going through the same slow rollout process. Palisade Research: "Anthropic is a little ahead, but not overwhelmingly ahead. They don't necessarily have a permanent moat here."

The Pentagon just threatened to DESTROY one of the most powerful AI companies in the world. Not for breaking the law. Not for fraud. For having a conscience. Anthropic, the company behind Claude, the only AI currently operating inside America's most classified military systems was given an ultimatum. Remove your safety limits. Give us full control or we end you. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sat across from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on Tuesday at the Pentagon. The message was simple. You have until 5:01 PM Friday to comply. If Anthropic refuses, the Pentagon will do three things. Cancel their $200 million contract. Blacklist them as a "supply chain risk." And invoke the Defense Production Act to seize their technology anyway. That last one is the big one. The Defense Production Act is a Cold War era law. It was designed to force factories to build tanks and ammunition during wartime. It has never been used against a software company. Until now. What did Anthropic do to deserve this? They said two things were off limits. No fully autonomous weapons. AI should not make the final decision to kill someone. No mass surveillance of American citizens. That's it and that's what started the war. The Pentagon says that's too restrictive. They want Claude available for "all lawful purposes." No company oversight. No asking questions. No red lines. You sell it. We use it. End of discussion. Hegseth reportedly told Amodei: When we buy Boeing planes, Boeing doesn't tell us how to fly them. The Pentagon believes the same should apply to AI. But here's the part that changed everything. In January, the US military raided Caracas, Venezuela. They captured President Nicolás Maduro. Multiple sites were bombed. And the AI that helped plan it? Claude. Anthropic says it never knew. The deployment ran through Palantir, a defense contractor embedded in every corner of US intelligence. When Anthropic found out, they reportedly called Palantir to ask what happened. The Pentagon took that as an act of defiance. Also, the supply chain risk designation is what should terrify you. That label is normally used for Chinese tech companies. Foreign adversaries. Espionage threats. The Pentagon is about to use it on an American AI company. Here's what that means in practice. Every company that works with the Pentagon, defense contractors, tech firms, consulting giants would have to prove they don't use Claude anywhere in their operations. Anthropic recently said 8 of the 10 biggest UScompanies use their technology. Think about that. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has already cut deals with the other major AI labs. OpenAI. Google. Elon Musk's xAI. All have reportedly agreed to waive their safety guardrails for military use. Anthropic is the last one standing. This is not a story about one contract. This is the moment America decides who controls the most powerful technology ever built. The companies that create it? Or the government that wants to weaponize it? Dario Amodei left OpenAI and founded Anthropic specifically because he believed AI safety wasn't being taken seriously enough. Now the full weight of the US military is being aimed at his company for doing exactly what he said he would do. Anthropic's own engineers have said Claude still hallucinates. It still makes mistakes. Giving it final authority over kill decisions without a human checking could lead to catastrophic errors. The deadline is Friday. If Anthropic blinks, every AI safety guardrail in America becomes a suggestion. If they don't, the Pentagon will try to use a law from 1950 to take what it wants anyway. Either way, the world changes this week.

The Pentagon said it will not let “any company dictate the terms.” 60 Minutes spoke with Dario and Anthropic President Daniela Amodei in November, and this is how they described the importance of “bumpers and guardrails” to manage the risk of AI.
