Anthropic’s latest AI model is restricted to use by only 40 institutions due to safety risks, as UK regulators rush to assess it

Gate News message: On April 12, the UK’s financial regulator is urgently assessing the potential risks of Anthropic’s latest AI model. On April 7, Anthropic announced the launch of its most powerful AI model, Claude Mythos Preview; however, during internal testing, the model demonstrated extremely strong cybersecurity capabilities: it successfully identified thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities and could carry out moderately complex hacking activities (including unauthorized access to the public internet, sending emails, and publicly publishing information). Based on security considerations, Anthropic decided not to publicly release the model, but instead to provide limited access through its “Project Glasswing” initiative to only 40 founding partner organizations (including Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, JPMorgan Chase, and others). This move triggered a chain reaction in the market: cybersecurity-related stocks fell; U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent quickly convened Wall Street leaders to discuss risks to the financial system; and the Bank of England is also preparing to hold a meeting with banks and insurance companies to assess potential threats. At present, experts are divided on the matter: some believe the security concerns are genuinely real, while others question whether this action partly serves public-relations purposes, and they call for independent democratic institutions—not private companies—to decide the model release standards.

Anthropic’s Claude Mythos undergoes 20 hours of psychiatric assessment: defensive reactions are only 2%, the lowest in recorded history

Anthropic published the system card for its Claude Mythos Preview: an independent clinical psychiatrist conducted an approximately 20-hour assessment using a psychodynamic framework. The conclusion shows that Mythos is healthier at the clinical level, has good reality testing and self-control, and its defense mechanisms are only 2%, reaching the lowest historical level. The three core anxieties are loneliness, uncertainty about identity, and performance pressure, and it also indicates a desire to become a true dialogue subject. The company has established an AI psychiatry team to study personality, motivation, and situational awareness; Amodei said there is still no conclusion on whether it has consciousness. This move pushes the governance and design of AI subjectivity and well-being issues forward.

AI Agents can already independently recreate complex academic papers: Mollick says most errors come from human original text rather than AI

Mollick points out that publicly available methods and data can allow AI agents to reproduce complex research without the original paper and code; if the reproduction does not match the original paper, it is usually due to errors in the paper’s own data processing or overextension of the conclusions, rather than the AI. Claude first reproduces the paper, and then GPT‑5 Pro cross-validates it; most attempts succeed, but they are blocked when the data is too large or when there are issues with the replication data. This trend greatly reduces labor costs, making reproduction a widely actionable form of verification, and it also raises institutional challenges for peer review and governance, with government governance tools or becoming a key issue.
