alt Hacker Newsit all looks suspicious:
- June 1st 2026: Anthropic files S-1 paperwork with SEC to get ready for IPO
- June 2nd 2026: Anthropic annouces expanding "Project Glasswing" to let people use their new model to enhance security of existing systems
- June 9th 2026: Anthropic releases Mythos model
- June 12th 2026: Model gets export regulations placed on it by US Gov
- June 26th 2026: US gov announces they will let some companies use new model
- August 2026: Anthropic goes IPO
I would not be surprised if the US government, the people pulling the strings who actually put the export announcements onto Anthropic, actually have purchased stock in the company to artificially pump up the stock, I would bet money on it.

Nah I spoke to a security researcher who still has access to Mythos. He says it is significantly better than their earlier models for security research. Based on my one-day use of Fable that was also a noticeable step up for coding.
There's absolutely no way Anthropic engineered this to bump their IPO price. That's lunatic conspiracy theory territory.

The same US government that labelled Anthropic as a supply chain risk? This is the most ridiculous idea I've heard all week.

Anthropic losing their ability to release new models to most customers (and thereby revenue, and thereby ability to train new models) makes you think investors will value it more highly than if they could release new models to everyone who wanted to pay them?
