Early Users of Anthropic Mythos Still Have Access After US Order

The order, issued by the US government, had targeted multiple versions of Mythos, but the preview version used by these early testers remains operational. The specific scope and rationale of the government order have not been detailed in the report.

The early testers include financial institutions and tech companies that were granted access to Mythos prior to the government's action. Anthropic, the developer of Mythos, has not publicly commented on the discrepancy between the order and the continued access. The US government has also not clarified whether the preview version was excluded from the order or if the enforcement has been incomplete.

The situation highlights ongoing tensions between AI development and regulatory efforts. Mythos is Anthropic's latest large language model, and the government order appears to be part of broader scrutiny of advanced AI systems. The continued access for some users raises questions about the effectiveness of the regulatory action and the challenges of enforcing restrictions on AI models that may be distributed in different versions.
