The National Security Agency (N.S.A.) has lost access to a powerful A.I. model, Mythos 5, developed by Anthropic, amidst the Trump administration’s dispute with the start-up. This deprivation removes a tool that had impressed N.S.A. analysts with its proficiency in finding software weaknesses. The Trump administration imposed export controls on Anthropic this month, citing national security concerns, which compelled the company to pull back the release of its most advanced models, Mythos 5 and Fable 5.
N.S.A. cybersecurity analysts had been conducting controlled tests of Anthropic’s tools, which proved highly impressive. Senator Mark Warner, top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, disclosed that N.S.A. chief Gen. Joshua Rudd reported Mythos "broke into almost all of our classified systems, not in weeks, but in hours." This incident highlights the administration's growing dependence on advanced A.I. systems for cybersecurity, even as it battles a leading U.S. developer.
