The US Treasury Department seeks access to Anthropic's Mythos model to discover system vulnerabilities According to a source familiar with the matter, the US Treasury Department's technical team is seeking access to Anthropic's Mythos artificial intelligence model in order to begin searching for system vulnerabilities. The insider stated that Sam Cocos, the Chief Information Officer of the US Treasury Department, aims to obtain access to the model as soon as possible (possibly as early as this week). Anthropic has only opened this model to a limited number of institutions. According to informed sources, Cocos introduced the technology to the cybersecurity team of the Ministry of Finance last week and instructed them to prepare for the ultimate threat that powerful artificial intelligence systems may pose. US Treasury Secretary Vincent and Federal Reserve Chairman Powell convened an emergency meeting with Wall Street leaders last week, expressing concerns that the Mythos model will usher in an era of higher cyber risks. Anthropic has issued a warning that if companies do not test their own systems and establish defenses before widespread release, the model may have the ability to support cyber attacks.
