NSA taps Anthropic Mythos despite Pentagon risk designation, Axios reports

Reuters reports the U.S. National Security Agency is using Anthropic's Mythos Preview AI despite the Pentagon's formal supply-chain risk designation; Axios cites sources saying Mythos is being deployed more widely within the NSA, but Reuters could not immediately verify the claim. Comment requests were not answered by the NSA, Anthropic or the DoD. The piece notes discussions between the Trump administration and Anthropic and raises concerns that Mythos’s autonomous coding capabilities could heighten cybersecurity risks.
