Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell convened a meeting with bank executives this week to encourage them to use Anthropic’s new Mythos model to detect vulnerabilities, according to Bloomberg.
In fact, JPMorgan Chase was the only bank listed as one of the first partner organizations to have access to the model, but Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Bank of America, and Morgan Stanley are also reportedly testing Mythos as well.
Anthropic announced the model this week, but said it would restrict access for now because Mythos is too good at finding security vulnerabilities despite having no special training in cybersecurity. (Others suggested this was hype or just a smart corporate sales strategy.)
The report is especially surprising because Anthropic is currently battling the Trump administration in court over the Department of Defense’s designation of Anthropic as a supply chain risk. The designation came after negotiations broke down over the company’s efforts to limit how governments use its AI models.
Meanwhile, the Financial Times reported that Britain’s financial regulator is also discussing the risks posed by Mythos.
