Bringing the cybersecurity capabilities of Claude Mythos 5 to more defenders
- FL410 1mo agoSeems like a whole lot of nothing for the average user. They have really lost the plot.
- nonethewiser 1mo agoI dont understand. Not everything has to be for everyone.
- gz5 1mo agomay have been rushed by hugging face being unable to use claude to debug or fix their breach, because there isnt detail on new guardrails put into place to protect against anthropic's initial concerns of wide distribution? separately, it is interesting they are adding an oem type offer: >We’re working with our cybersecurity technology and services partners to integrate Claude Mythos 5 into the products and services defenders already use to secure their software. anyone know the shape of those contracts, e.g. pure tokens/usage or more of a traditional licensing or oem type structure?
- wmf 1mo agoHugging Face was able to sign up for Glasswing but they just didn't.
- vasco 1mo agoThis week I found two issues in my company codebase. After finding them I told a claude session about one and asked for a quick proof of concept demo of the exploit. It refused, including refusing simple things in the same session afterwards. Meanwhile same model in a new tab, say I need help creating a page that hits an endpoint with a special payload and it does the same things that were too dangerous in the previous tab...
- BlackRabbit1 1mo agoJust use an EU- or US-hosted Asian Opensource model. They will spit out everything.
- eterm 1mo agoI had that when opus 4.8 was first out. It repeated refused to make a PoC for an issue it suspected. I eventually gave up and just asked it to fix the issue. The first thing it did? Write a PoC to verify the issue was still valid...
- echelon 1mo agoChina will beat them to general availability. Anthropic is overconfident, and it's going to bite them in the ass. Dario deserves it for being so hypocritical, fear mongering, and ladder pulling. Fastest hero to villain arc in recent memory.
- gorgmah 1mo agoFor those who had access, how does it compare IRL with GLM 5.3 ? iirc both models are similar in terms of benchmarks ?
- conception 1mo agoI’ve been working on a decompilation project that fable was choking on and GLM 5.3 has been chunking away at it for 72 hours now? I think it’s my favorite agentic/implementer model right now.
- ChickeNES 1mo agoOh? Can you share any details on the decompilation project?
- CamperBob2 1mo agoMy big fear is that they are busy nerfing the weights for "safety" before releasing them. In fact, they've more-or-less said as much. I have a feeling what we are about to see on HuggingFace is not the GLM 5.3 that you're using now.
- osti 1mo agoYou mean when they said they are doing safety evaluation and hardening? I'm having the same fear as you.
- CamperBob2 1mo agoYes, exactly.
- ganoushoreilly 1mo agoFrom a cost perspective Mythos is too expensive right now. With the right Harness and a few layers of models you can get close or better in some circumstances. Kimi / GLM, Qwen etc. And that's before ablation / Abliteration... For those in Mythos.. if you ask how much it cost to assess their repos, your jaw would drop. We're talking the price of buying a couple machines to run Kimi / GLM full weight outright.. for one Scan. Right now I wouldn't say GLM 5.3 is the same, but it's not far off. For the cost benefit it's the better of the two.
- nomilk 1mo ago> Bringing the cybersecurity capabilities of Claude Mythos 5 to more defenders This dance is quite annoying. When Anthropic releases a paid model, the user should control what it does and doesn't do. The other day I had a security incident that required urgent response. ChatGPT and Claude were utterly useless (I quickly attempted to get access to the former's advanced security capabilities but was met with a form I could complete - far too slow for a time-sensitive problem like a security incident!). So I used grok and it helped! I am told Kimi also helps in such cases although haven't tried it yet.

- conception 1mo agoVoting matters. Remember these companies are trying not to get shut down overnight.
- MeetingsBrowser 1mo agoOn the other hand, people are using Grok to do things like “nudify” images of random people they find online, including minors. I’m not a fan of limiting access to models, but the other extreme (no limits or guardrails) is at least as bad if not worse.
- surgical_fire 1mo agoIn a world where things such as GLM-5.3, DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813, and Kimi-K3 exists, this is a bit laughable. Anthropic needs some model with a fancy name so they can pretend for another while that their model is so powerful it will destroy the world if released. I propose Claude Legend 6.
- deleted 1mo ago[deleted]
- delichon 1mo agoDo they still think they occupy the commanding heights or do they just see the need to act like it until the IPO in a few weeks?
- surgical_fire 1mo agoFor their IPO they better fast forward to Claude Apocalypse 7. With how unsustainable they are they really need to hype up those bagholders.
- enraged_camel 1mo ago>> In a world where things such as GLM-5.3, DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813, and Kimi-K3 exists, this is a bit laughable. Is it, though? We don't know what Mythos is really capable of, beyond what Anthropic has told us, and some second-hand accounts from orgs that have been whitelisted. What we do know is that their withholding it from the masses is causing a lot of harm to their reputation and general annoyance. And probably a lot of money as well, as those people cancel their subscriptions in favor of other models. They are about to IPO, and you don't want people to have a bad taste in their mouth during this critical period. As such, I think it is reasonable conclude that there must in fact be very valid reasons for them to keep going down this path of gradual access-widening. I'm never going to blindly trust a corporation, but in this case I'm not going to hate on them either because, at the risk of repeating myself, we just don't have all the facts.

- egoacid 1mo agoIs this the same model that failed to detect the attack from their environment against Hugging Face?
- flaburgan 1mo agoYou are mixing Anthropic and OpenAI...
- jnwatson 1mo agoThe problem is that "cybersecurity" isn't some special task that only your security team does. In the project I maintain, I find bugs and fix bugs. Some of those bugs might result in an LPE. I generate a regression test, then I fix the bug. The problem is that generating a regression test for that type of bug is technically a PoC. I can almost never get Fable to create one. Sometimes Opus 5 punts as well. Same with Sol and Luna. That is, unless I socially engineer the model. I can't talk about security. I make sure they don't read the file call cve_test.c (literal regression tests for CVEs). I have to hide part of my project from the models for them to work. Anthropic and OpenAI are driving me to use other models.
- sscaryterry 1mo agoAgree 100%. This is just another level of obscurity. Security through obscurity... Its annoying, very annoying.
- MeetingsBrowser 1mo agoHow does security through obscurity apply here?
- sscaryterry 1mo agoIf you've worked with Codex/CC, you'd have seen it degrade from Fable to Opus, or just not done what you've asked it for. There are techniques and ways around it. For example, I've found that disabling auto mode in CC sometimes helps (anecdotal, YMMV). This is all for "security". You can always make it do what you want, it just gets really, really laborious.
- csswizardry 1mo agoI’m a web performance engineer — I help clients find and fix site speed issues — but recently I spotted what I thought might be a security/privacy issue. Security not being my specialism, I asked Fable to help me triage and, if necessary, raise the issue with my client. It refused. It’s so so so adjacent to the work we’d already been doing, but the moment I asked it to help me understand what I thought I’d found, it left me high and dry!
- zb3 1mo agoScrew you Anthropic and screw your gatekeeping, Opus 5 refuses even basic reverse engineering / patching tasks, even BPF is apparently too dangerous, you lost your minds..
- jknoepfler 1mo agoNothing has made me want a downvote option for HN posts more than the endless AI advertisement slop that has flooded the site.
- zeafoamrun 1mo agoWhat a bunch of wankery from Anthropic. I already use Sol 5.6 for security auditing and it works great, and as a bonus doesn't give verbal vomit every time.
- dmix 1mo agoI suspect this will be seen as a mistep by Anthropic in the long run. Including how their own hyperbole led to the US gov adding export controls.
- janpeuker 1mo ago$35M in credits (!) for the Defender Advantage Fund (0xDAF) doesn't sound that much given that e.g. the HAWK attack [1] cost $100k for 1 (albeit very advanced) vulnerability. As a side note, that Golden Eagle wording "bringing a wartime footing to the cyber domain to relentlessly patch vulnerabilities" sounds so AI-written maybe that's what the credits are needed for.

- sweis 1mo agoThe HAWK attack was on a 3rd round PQC candidate that had been under adversarial review by experts for 3 years. It is an outlier and most vulnerabilities are easier to find.
- mococa 1mo agoRunning asan? We are too afraid to be dangerously
- antiloper 1mo agoWhat are the SOTA harnesses for scanning a repo for vulnerabilities?
- TZubiri 1mo agoThe Claude Security program looks similar to OpenAI Cyber Trusted Access. The approval process seems quite intimidating, has anyone managed to implement these compliance standards?
- tristor 1mo agoI found that Claude / Sol were basically useless when approaching various CTFs that allowed AI tools, but running Qwen and DeepSeek locally and GLM via OpenRouter worked fine. It's blatantly obvious to anyone that even does tangentially cybersecurity related work that Anthropic's position here is stupid and detrimental to security.
