Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell called banking executives into a meeting this week where they encouraged them to use Anthropic’s new Mythos model to detect vulnerabilities. according to Bloomberg.
In fact, while JPMorgan Chase was the only bank included as one of the initial partner organizations with access to the model, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Bank of America, and Morgan Stanley are also reportedly testing Mythos.
anthropic announced the model this week but said it would limit access for now, in part because Mythos, despite not being trained specifically for cybersecurity, is too good at finding security vulnerabilities. (Others suggested that this was hype or simply a smart business sales strategy.)
The report is particularly surprising since Anthropic is currently fighting the Trump administration in court about the Department of Defense Designation of Anthropic as a supply chain risk.; That designation came after negotiations collapsed over the company’s efforts to limit how the government can use its AI models.
Meanwhile, reports the Financial Times that UK financial regulators are also discussing the risk posed by Mythos.
