The Fable of Mythos

Earlier this year, Antrhopic announced a large language model (LLM) called Mythos, a model they claimed to be so powerful for finding software exploits that it was too dangerous to release to the general public. Instead, they provided a limited release of this model to select organizations as part of Project Glasswing. Then, last week, Antrhopic released a version of this model called Fabel. Current subscribers were allowed an entire three days to work with this model before the US federal government issued an unpublished export control order for Anthropic, citing concerns of model jail breaking and weaponization, to restrict access to the model from any foreign nationals living in America or abroad. Anthropic denied the government’s finding, but complied with the order by revoking access to the model for all customers. There has been a massive roller coaster of press over this “frontier model,” much of it seeming to be media-hype and exaggerated claims. However, I question if this latest intervention by the US government is really about this coding model. The names of the products, the timing and the general story surrounding technology leads me to believe this is a narrative propaganda tool being used to increase government regulation, cripple competition and push for increased government surveillance.
