Anthropic: "We do not plan to make Claude Mythos Preview generally available"

A big line, buried quite deep.

Possible reasons? So many, inc:

1) The model is expensive (25/125), not far off GPT 4.5, which became commercially unviable. Less likely, given the claims about Mythos.

2) They genuinely are worried about unleashing cybersecurity choas on the world.

3) They don't have capacity to serve it at scale yet.

4) They will quickly distil the early access outputs of Mythos into a lighter model, so no need to release the bigger model when a more cost efficient one coming imminently.

5) Other. Not read the 250 page report yet, but will do.

I can't believe you phoned me personally to apologize!

No worries at all! We agreed you did deliberately bury the ''prediction" aspect deep into the post and used verbs like "blows" and "surpasses" and "word has it" to imply knowledge of what you had in fact completely made up. I understand why people do it, the attention economy rewards it, just flagging for the 99% who only read the visible part of the post that it's not true.

*I predict you will phone me; sorry, if I made it seem like you had, just the attention economy again.

@PatBQc It's already back up, see pinned comment! Thank you so much for watching.

9. In 2023, you predicted that ‘AI systems may facilitate extraordinary insights in broad swaths of many science and engineering disciplines’ by ‘24-25 but did you mean purely LLMs, (in which case are you disappointed?) or if you meant systems like Google’s WeatherNext or AlphaEvolve, why have Anthropic never publicly posted about/worked on neuro-symbolic or non-LLM systems? 10/12

10. Do you acknowledge the conflict of interest you could be perceived to have, in that you are calling to stop China getting Nvidia chips while at the same time it is those open-weight Chinese models, and scaffolds like Kimi Code, that could most threaten Anthropic’s revenue? 11/12

The Adolescence of Technology is a well-written 20,000-word new essay on what you should expect from the near future of AI. I read it in full + every footnote and link, and have these 10 questions (of a type not asked at Davos) for @DarioAmodei, the essay author and CEO of Anthropic, makers of Claude. 1/12

8. Can you describe the tipping point when you decided to switch from training Claude to ‘avoid implying it had a personal identity’ in ‘23-24 to ‘encourag[ing] Claude to think of itself as a particular type of person’ in ‘25-’26? 9/12

@johntheadman_ @karpathy Would love for you to set up opne of those councils on https://t.co/KsJwCIfxAB, then share the link so I could try it!

As luck would have it, I used @openrouter to go one step further and turn this idea in a full app, launched last month with 1.5k users! https://t.co/Qms720mAiR: and another coincidence, I first created and benchmarked the approach behind Karpathy's chairman, see my SmartGPT video with his pinned comment, in mid-2023, but I took the name of my app from Karpathy, from a video he made 9 months ago. Now we both have an AI council lol.

@karpathy Hey Andrej, what do you think of my version?: https://t.co/KsJwCIg5q9 More like 6 months than one weekend, as I expanded the concept into images, audio, polls, smartgpt leaders and more.
