NSA Expands Anthropic Mythos Deployment Despite Pentagon Pushback

NSA is reportedly broadening its use of Anthropic’s Mythos Preview AI despite Pentagon warnings about national security risks, with Axios noting the model is used within the agency and by banks and other firms for defense and cybersecurity tasks; the exact use cases remain unclear. The move fuels a broader debate over whether powerful AI should be tightly restricted or more widely deployed, drawing attention from the White House and European regulators, while Anthropic cautions Mythos is too powerful for public release.
