Frontier Labs and specifically Anthropic started steering the frontier toward cyber offense probably at some point last year.
After seeing the breakthroughs in efficiency from Deepseek in December 24, I believe they realized the jig is up. There is no moat. Instead create a regulatory moat. Speed run to scary Cyber Pandemic narratives (h/t
@Laser).
First dip your toe in the water with Mythos. Advertise a model so scary it can't . Then patiently wait for the Chinese to exfiltrate weights from a cyber offense capable model. Now there's a credible narrative why we need Muh Regulation to stop muh cyber. Regulatory moat = keys to one of the most pivotal technologies ever created. Classic.
Problem. Reaction. Solution.
