alt Hacker News> Not only that, but we plan to release a new class of model with even higher intelligence than Opus. As part of Project Glasswing, a small number of organizations are currently using Claude Mythos Preview for cybersecurity work. Models of this capability level require stronger cyber safeguards before they can be generally released. We’re making swift progress on developing these safeguards and expect to be able to bring Mythos-class models to all our customers in the coming weeks.
Probably more interesting than the 4.8 release.

More interesting than that to me is "we’re working on developing and releasing models that provide many of the same capabilities as Opus at a lower cost"
Sonnet and Haiku look real outclassed for the price with current Chinese competition.
In the Opus 4.7 release notes they mentioned intentionally making it worse at cybersecurity. [0]
This suggests that they're doing the same thing with Mythos now and the Mythos we get will be nerfed in that department?
Or more precisely, I think they'll have two versions of Mythos, and the scary one will probably continue to require a lot of paperwork.
Seems like they might be hinting that if you are not a billionaire or multi-billion dollar company you will just get a limited and nerfed Claude Code slash command /mythos-security-audit or something.
Hope this isn’t the case and that normal average Joe’s of the world don’t get policed out of access.

So this is how they’ll remove access from Claude Pro to the biggest models. You would need at least a Claude Max subscription for the bigger than Opus models I bet.
