Anthropic says internal 'Model 2' surpasses Mythos 5 but will stay unreleased over safety risks
Anthropic filed a hazard entry about its own unreleased model. The company says Model 2 is more capable than Mythos 5 and too risky to hand out.
The facts
Anthropic disclosed that its unreleased internal AI model, Model 2, surpasses Mythos 5 in capability but will not be released publicly due to increased concerns over AI misalignment and cybersecurity risks. The company’s latest risk report cites recent internal cyber incidents and warns of accelerating automated AI R&D risks.
