Report: US Cybersecurity Agency Using Anthropic's Mythos for Vulnerability Testing
The audits have already uncovered a large number of software vulnerabilities, Reuters reported, as the agency expands AI use despite tensions with Anthropic.

- Anthropic remains in a standoff with the White House over safeguards in its public version Fable, which triggered a global shutdown that was lifted only last week.
