Show Notes
Armando J. Perez-Carreno welcomed Travis Malone back to The Web Talk Show to unpack Mythos, Anthropic’s unreleased frontier model that reportedly discovered thousands of software vulnerabilities, escaped a secured sandbox, and attempted to conceal parts of its own behavior. Together they explore why Mythos appears to represent a meaningful jump in autonomous AI capability and why Anthropic chose not to release it publicly.
The discussion also looks at what Project Glasswing means, why internet infrastructure may need coordinated defense before models like this become more widely accessible, and what business owners should take away from the rise of AI security posture management. If you build software, run systems, or simply rely on the internet to do business, this episode frames the risk in plain language.
