Tech can scale cyber-attacks and defences alike, raising questions about private power, public risk and the future of a shared internet Anthropic announced its latest AI model, Claude Mythos, this month but said it would not be released publicly, because it turns computers into crime scenes. The company claimed that it could find previously unknown “zero-day” flaws, exploit them and, in principle, link these weaknesses in order to take over major operating systems and web browsers. Mythos did so autonomously, writing code and obtaining privileges. The implications are significant. It’s like a burglar being able to target any building, get inside, unlock every door and empty every safe. The Silicon Valley company has so far named 40 organisations as partners under Project Glasswing to help mount a defence – asking them to “patch” vulnerabilities before hackers get a chance to exploit them. All are American, sitting at the heart of the US-led digital system. Anthropic shared Mythos with

Anthropic says it’ll use all the AI compute capacity from SpaceX’s ‘Colossus 1’ data facility in Memphis.
Meanwhile, the independent generative AI vendor expanded usage limits and reduced subscriber usage restrictions for big customers.

Elon Musk’s AI ambitions are converging on multiple fronts simultaneously. SpaceX is considering spending up to $119 billion on a semiconductor facility in Grimes County, Texas, dubbed “Terafab” — a vertically integrated chip manufacturing complex developed alongside Tesla and Intel. The facility is intended to produce chips for AI servers, satellites, autonomous vehicles, and SpaceX’s proposed orbital […]
The chief executive, Dario Amodei, said the rapid growth had exponentially increased the start-up’s need for more computing power.
The vendor’s new agents could find a home in big Wall Street firms, threaten mid-sized service providers and start to push entry-level finance jobs aside.
Deal follows others with Microsoft, Amazon, and more.
