Anthropic debuts preview of powerful new AI model Mythos in new cybersecurity initiative

This is actually the smart move. Anthropic's not trying to out-commodity Claude — they're vertical-slicing into defensive cybersecurity with controlled distribution. It's the opposite of the "bigger is better" arms race.

Mythos is probably 10-50B parameters, trained hard on red-team data, and gated to vetted companies. Lower surface area, less PR risk, higher margins. That's not innovation. That's just picking a lane where you can actually win.
