Anthropic confirmed that an unauthorised group gained access to a preview version of its Claude Mythos large language model, according to an April 23, 2026, report by Fortune. Access reportedly occurred after the group guessed the model's unlisted web location — essentially finding a public-held-but-not-advertised URL. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei stated the company is investigating the incident, though initial assessments suggest a poorly hidden endpoint. The preview model, still in development limits test phases, was less advanced than the final model that was accessed.
