AI BriefingMythos, Now Also Used by the NSA
Key point
The NSA is reportedly using Anthropic's Mythos Preview even amid the DoD blacklist.
Details
It has been reported that the NSA is using Anthropic's top-tier model Mythos Preview.
The problem is that the U.S. Department of Defense designated Anthropic as a supply chain risk back in February and even tried to block its own vendors from using it. That measure has now led to litigation.
The model is currently being provided on a limited basis to only about 40 organizations, and Anthropic has disclosed only 12 of them. Some users are reportedly using it for vulnerability detection within their own environments.
- According to anonymous sources, the NSA is using Mythos
- One source said it is also used more broadly within the Department of Defense
- The UK's counterpart agency also has access through the AI Security Institute
Separately, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei met with the White House Chief of Staff and the Treasury Secretary on Friday to discuss the use of Mythos within the government and security policy. Both sides described the meeting as productive.
