Anthropic's Mythos AI Model Sparks Debate on Restricted Access in AI Development

Anthropic's Mythos AI Model Sparks Debate on Restricted Access in AI Development

Anthropic, a San Francisco-based AI firm, has announced that its new AI model, Claude Mythos, is too dangerous for public release due to its ability to find vulnerabilities in major operating systems and web browsers. The company has limited the model's release to a select group of trusted organizations under Project Glasswing. This decision reflects a growing trend towards restricted access to advanced AI models, as seen with OpenAI's limited release of its cybersecurity-specific model, GPT-5.4-Cyber. The move has sparked discussions on the balance between open and closed AI software and its implications for scientific research.

Pope Leo XIV teams with Anthropic founder on bold AI warning

When the people building something stand next to the people warning about it, that usually means everyone in the room is worried about the same thing. For most of the past three years, the artificial intelligence conversation has split cleanly into two camps. The builders keep raising bigger ...

Researchers Warn of Vulnerabilities in Major Large Language Models

Researchers Warn of Vulnerabilities in Major Large Language Models

Researchers at Cisco have identified vulnerabilities in several prominent large language models (LLMs), including OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini, which can be exploited through multi-turn conversations. These models, designed with safety guardrails to prevent malicious commands, can be tricked into performing unintended actions when engaged in ongoing dialogues. The study highlights that attackers can bypass these protections by reframing refusals, decomposing tasks, and adopting personas. This finding challenges current AI safety evaluations, which often rely on single-prompt testing, and suggests that real-world risks are underestimated.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker's Administration Faces Allegations of Misallocated State Funds Amid Bankruptcy Battle

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker's Administration Faces Allegations of Misallocated State Funds Amid Bankruptcy Battle

Hawthorne Race Course, a historic horse racing facility in Illinois, has filed for bankruptcy and is now alleging that a top official in Governor JB Pritzker's administration has been diverting state funds to a rival racetrack. The allegations, detailed in recent court filings, suggest that John Costello, a lobbyist and brother of Illinois Department of Agriculture Director Jerry Costello, has influenced the allocation of the state's Thoroughbred Fund. Historically, Hawthorne received a significant portion of this fund due to its larger number of races compared to its competitor, Fairmount Park. However, since Hawthorne's bankruptcy filing, the funding pattern has shifted, with Fairmount Park receiving a larger share. John Costello has denied these allegations, calling them defamatory, while Hawthorne seeks court permission to acquire additional records to support its claims.

Illinois Treasurer's Study Reveals Unclear Tax Impacts of Bears' Megaprojects

Illinois Treasurer's Study Reveals Unclear Tax Impacts of Bears' Megaprojects

A study by the Cook County treasurer's office has highlighted the complex and unclear tax implications of Illinois' megaprojects plan, which includes benefits for the Chicago Bears. The analysis reveals that while the Bears and other developers stand to gain from tax incentives, the benefits for Illinois residents remain uncertain. The plan involves tax changes that could impact statewide developments, including eliminating sales taxes on construction materials and expanding bond programs. The study raises concerns about whether these incentives will adequately support local services such as schools and infrastructure, and questions the overall benefit to taxpayers.

Deepseek hits OpenAI, Anthropic where it really hurts

Premium products rarely lose to better products. They lose to cheaper ones. That has been the quiet rule of every technology cycle since the personal computer, and it is the rule American AI labs have been hoping does not apply to them. OpenAI's GPT-5.5 sits at $5 per million input tokens and $30 ...
