In the Anthropic Mythos model cards they explicitly remarked that they didn't want Mythos to be specifically good at security. They trained it to be good at coding, and as a side effect the model is (obviously) good at security. This what happens with flesh hackers too, mostly. Hackers are very good programmers, as a side effect they understand systems well enough that their understanding has security implications.

Model cards are just marketing material. I wouldn’t trust them one bit.

This does not match my experience.

>>> the model is (obviously) good at security

Out of curiosity, are you one of the people who has access to the model? If yes, could you write about your experimental setup in more detail?
