Anthropic rolls out public version of Mythos without cybersecurity capability

The model blocks high-risk requests and falls back to Claude Opus 4.8, while Anthropic says early testing found no universal jailbreaks in over 1,000 hours.

  • Anthropic officially launched "Claude Fable 5" on Tuesday, commercially releasing a public, heavily safeguarded version of its highly powerful "Mythos" artificial intelligence architecture.
  • The debut follows a highly restrictive two-month private rollout of the original "Mythos Preview" model in April, which alarmed Wall Street, central banks, and global governments due to its unprecedented ability to automatically find and exploit critical software vulnerabilities.
  • Fable 5 represents a massive leap in raw analytical power, marking the first public AI model to break 90% on the core Hex benchmark for highly complex, multi-run, and long-horizon analytical tasks.
  • To mitigate severe misuse risks, the model features aggressive routing guardrails; any prompt asking about high-risk topics like cybersecurity or biology is automatically downgraded to the less permissive Claude Opus 4.8, triggering a fallback in roughly 5% of user sessions.
  • Simultaneously, a fully unrestricted "Claude Mythos 5" was deployed via the defensive cybersecurity initiative "Project Glasswing," keeping the raw, un-guardrailed model strictly limited to a small group of infrastructure providers and U.S. government cyberdefenders.

The AI company Anthropic has allegedly put its too powerful "mythos" model in chains and let it go under the name "Fable 5" to normal users. The goal is clear: to inspire the imagination of investors before the company goes to the stock exchange.
