Trump officials may be encouraging banks to test Anthropic’s Mythos model

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell summoned bank executives for a meeting this week where they encouraged the executives to employ Anthropic’s latest Mythos model to detect vulnerabilities, according to Bloomberg.

Indeed, while JPMorgan Chase was the only bank listed as one of the initial partner organizations with access to the model, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Bank of America, and Morgan Stanley are reportedly testing Mythos as well.

Anthropic published the model this week but stated it would be limiting access for now, in part because Mythos — despite not being trained specifically for cybersecurity — is too excellent at finding security vulnerabilities. (Others suggested this was hype or simply a smart enterprise sales strategy.)

The report is particularly surprising since Anthropic is currently battling the Trump administration in court over the Department of Defense’s designation of Anthropic as a supply-chain risk; that designation came after negotiations fell apart over the company’s efforts to limit how its AI models can be used by the government.

Meanwhile, the Financial Times reports that U.K. financial regulators are also discussing the risk posed by Mythos.
