Anthropic's leadership have always been virtue signaling hypocrites. If you think they aren't providing Mythos for use by the NSA and the CIA, I've got a data center to sell you.

What makes Anthropic different from other frontier AI labs in the US is that they have always been primarily a military/government targeting company (hence the hypocrisy of saying they stand for liberty, when they haven't released a single open model and is highly secretive). That's why they focus so much on "safety" and "alignment" and were among the first Big AI companies to chase government contracts, while ignoring revenue streams like advertisement (which their supporters believe makes them "better" when in reality it just means they don't really care about consumers).

They claim they have a 6-12 months gap, and want to widen it further by devouring more of the US's financial and infrastructural resources. It doesn't matter how much money they're burning or how unviable their business is, if they can get the US government & institutional investors to fund them.

It's a shame they currently have the best enterprise coding model, but fortunately more & more companies are realizing the juice is not worth the squeeze and Anthropic's lead has diminishing returns on productivity.

If they don't release Mythos soon, it could back fire on them as other labs catch up.

I really don't think Arnaud here is knowledgeable enough about AI to be worth posting. You can since just quote Anthropic tweet and add your own opinion.

I think this take is fairly solid (despite being obviously edited by AI); it gets to the point of what Anthropic is trying to do:
The most revealing thing about this AI leadership paper is that it reads less like a vision for innovation and more like a glossy whitepaper for a 21st century East India Company.

Every generation of incumbents discovers a new moral vocabulary for why they alone should control transformative technology.

What really jumps off the page is the assumption that a tiny cluster of frontier labs should become quasi-sovereign actors, deciding who gets intelligence, who gets compute, who gets models, and which countries are permitted to participate in the future. Not elected governments. Not open markets. Not open-source communities. A handful of corporations sitting beside the national security state, insisting that concentration of power is necessary to protect democracy. You almost have to admire the audacity.
