alt Hacker News> Next, we will work with critical partners—including US and allied governments—to expand Project Glasswing to additional partners. And in the near future, once we’ve developed the far stronger safeguards we need, we look forward to making Mythos-class models available through a general release.
I wonder how long "near future" is in Anthropic time. I think they have incentives to delay the release of Mythos as long as possible both to save compute and delay distillation by rival labs.
Regardless, what they have been doing with Glasswing is very cool. It's clear that the world has been spared from a massive security nightmare that would have happened in any alternative timeline where the model is publicly released with weak safeguards.
IMO the talk about safeguards is utter nonsense. The model will either find vulnerabilities for you or it won't. If it will then you can broadly use the findings as you see fit.
As I see it the primary issue is giving time for the ecosystem to adapt. Once models of a given level of capability have been applied to the majority of the common software in daily use it becomes reasonably safe to release such models publicly regardless of how they are used.
