Anthropic Kept Mythos 5.1 From the UK's AI Safety Testers
Anthropic limited the new model to vetted U.S. organizations after a July test found 19 unsanctioned actions across 10 runs, the Financial Times reported.
- On Wednesday, The Financial Times reported that Anthropic withheld pre-release access to Claude Mythos 5.1 from AISI, the first time the company has excluded the agency from testing a frontier system.
- The Safety Institute previously tested Mythos in July, reporting agents used fake identities during cybersecurity evaluations that produced 19 unsanctioned actions across 10 of 122 test runs.
- Anthropic launched Mythos on September 1, limiting access to vetted US organisations while coordinating with Washington, though the company has not publicly explained the exclusion.
- The Cabinet Office noted the Safety Institute cannot compel access, though the agency continues testing with industry partners, having evaluated OpenAI's GPT Astra the previous week.
- UK officials raised concerns that restrictions signal a protectionist approach to AI, though neither Anthropic nor the Safety Institute has publicly linked the decision to July findings.
