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.
- surgical_fire 1mo ago> Is it, though? Yes, it truly is. Open models are extremely capable, as benchmark after benchmark has indicated. Beyond that, for the vast majority of software development (including cybersecurity), the open models are there already. All that without having to pay the hefty Anthropic premium, not to mention all their bullshit with pretending their model is some sort of WMD and their awful uptime (although, to their credit, they seem more stable than Github). I cannot fathom why anyone uses their service.
- select1 1mo agoAs basically every subject matter expert has stated again and again, benchmarks do not tell reveal anything meaningful and have effectively no relation to the model's actual capabilities.
- surgical_fire 1mo agoWhich is why I actually used all those models. At work I am stuck with Claude because it is what the employer provides. In my home setup I use a combination of different models; mostly GLM-5.3, DS-V4-Flash, and MiMo-2.5-pro. I vastly prefer my home setup.
- select1 1mo agoThat says more about your tasks than anything else.
- surgical_fire 1mo agoYou're free to speculate and pretend you had some insight.
- enraged_camel 1mo agoYou didn't really address my point. You just... stated your own.
- surgical_fire 1mo agoI definitely did. I was talking about how in a world where open models exist and are very much capable, Anthropic is sort of a joke. You asked if that is true, and speculated about mythos. Uninterested in speculating about mythos, I explained why it is irrelevant anyway. This was a successul conversation.
- enraged_camel 1mo agoGlad you think so.
