OMB's examination of Mythos is 'not giving access to anything to agencies,' official says
"OMB is not giving access to anything to agencies, according to a spokesperson, despite the administration's interest in the powerful Mythos AI model that identifies digital vulnerabilities."
"National Cyber Director Sean Cairncross is convening meetings to prepare for the cyber repercussions of Mythos and anticipated powerful AI systems from other companies."
"Jack Clark, Anthropic's co-founder, stated that there will be other systems like Mythos in the near future, emphasizing the need for the world to prepare for more powerful AI."
"The administration is working closely with model providers, industry partners, and the intelligence community to ensure appropriate guardrails and safeguards are in place before potentially releasing a modified version of the model to agencies."
The Office of Management and Budget is not currently planning any policy changes regarding federal agencies' access to Anthropic's Mythos AI model. An email from the federal CIO indicated interest in the technology, but an OMB spokesperson clarified that no policy process is underway. Mythos has been shared with select industry partners, prompting meetings among government and AI stakeholders to address potential cyber implications. The administration is working with model providers and the intelligence community to establish safeguards before any potential release to agencies.
