Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell recently convened a meeting with leading bank executives, where they advocated for the adoption of Anthropic’s new Mythos model to identify potential vulnerabilities, according to a report by Bloomberg.
While JPMorgan Chase was initially identified as the sole partner organization granted early access to the model, major financial institutions including Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Bank of America, and Morgan Stanley are also reportedly in the process of testing Mythos.
Anthropic unveiled the Mythos model this week but indicated that access would be restricted for the time being. This limitation is partly attributed to the model's surprising efficacy in uncovering security vulnerabilities, despite not being specifically trained for cybersecurity applications. Some observers, however, have suggested that this limited access could be a strategic marketing move or simply a form of industry hype.
This development is particularly notable given that Anthropic is currently engaged in legal proceedings against the Trump administration. The dispute stems from the Department of Defense's classification of Anthropic as a supply-chain risk, a designation that followed the breakdown of negotiations regarding Anthropic's attempts to impose restrictions on how its AI models could be utilized by the government.
Concurrently, the Financial Times has reported that financial regulators in the United Kingdom are also actively discussing the potential risks associated with the Mythos model.
