This comes after the presidential administration earlier in June forced the AI giant to shut down access to two of its AI models, citing national security.
A spokesperson for the company stated on Saturday night, local time in Sweden, that they are in discussions with the government to "expand access to Mythos 5 and make Fable 5 available again."
Fable 5 is a locked version of Mythos 5, an advanced model that has been withheld from the public because it is particularly adept at finding vulnerabilities in program code.
Anthropic has refused the Trump administration permission to use its technology for mass surveillance and autonomous weapons, which has led the Pentagon to terminate its contract with the company.
Facts: How Claude Mythos works
Claude Mythos is an AI model developed by American company Anthropic. The model can write and understand programming code, and according to the company, is better than almost all humans at finding and exploiting vulnerabilities.
How to use it:
1. It is allowed to read the program's source code on a computer isolated from the internet.
2. Mythos develops a hypothesis about possible vulnerabilities.
3. The hypothesis is tested to confirm or reject the suspicions, or adjusted and tested again.
4. Once Mythos has found several smaller vulnerabilities, it tries to chain them together to create a more powerful attack.
5. The model writes a bug report.
