The United States National Security Agency (NSA) has integrated the artificial intelligence model Mythos developed by Anthropic into its offensive cyber operations, specifically targeting China and Iran. This information, revealed by the Financial Times, highlights the direct involvement of Anthropic, which has placed around six engineers within the NSA to adapt and support the use of Mythos.
The precise role of Anthropic's engineers in these operations is not clearly defined, but the Mythos model could be used to infiltrate foreign networks. This collaboration comes as Anthropic is embroiled in a legal conflict with the Pentagon, which has attempted to exclude the company from military contracts due to its restrictions on the use of its Claude models for mass surveillance and autonomous drones. However, the delivery of Mythos to the NSA has been exempted from these restrictions.
Meanwhile, Anthropic has recently expanded access to its Mythos model, making it available to 150 organizations across 15 countries. This expansion coincides with an executive order signed by President Trump, encouraging voluntary security testing for new AI models, an initiative that the company has supported.
