-US security agency is using Anthropic's Mythos AI Tool

The United States National Security Agency is using Anthropic's Mythos Preview AI tool despite the Pentagon hitting the company with a formal supply-chain risk designation.



The Mythos Preview model was being used more widely within the department.



Anthropic, the NSA and the US Department of Defense did not immediately respond to requests for comment outside regular business hours.



The NSA is part of the Defense Department.



Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump's administration and Anthropic's CEO discussed working together for the first time since a dispute earlier this year between the Pentagon and the AI firm over how that company's models should be used.



The talks came amid growing fears the artificial intelligence startup's latest model Mythos will supercharge cyberattacks.



The model is the company's "most capable yet for coding and agentic tasks," Anthropic has previously said, referring to the model's ability to act autonomously.
