Anthropic is rolling out a preview of its new Mythos model only to a handpicked group of tech and cybersecurity companies over concerns about its ability to find and exploit security flaws, the company said Tuesday.

Why it matters: Anthropic is so worried about the damage Mythos could cause that it’s refusing to release it publicly until there are safeguards to control its most dangerous capabilities.

Mind-blowing disclosure: In announcing the tightly confined release of Mythos on Tuesday, Anthropic disclosed that during testing, the model broke out of its “sandbox” testing environment and built a “moderately sophisticated multi-step exploit” to get the run of the internet, when it was supposed to have access only to certain services.

  • The model demonstrated a “potentially dangerous capability for circumventing our safeguards,” Anthropic revealed. “The researcher found out about this success by receiving an unexpected email from the model while eating a sandwich in a park.”

Beyond Mythos’ fearsome cybersecurity powers, the model is leaps and bounds better at coding, far superior as a negotiating tool — and is even a much more gifted poet than its predecessors.

  • Anthropic’s Logan Graham — a former Rhodes Scholar who leads the Frontier Red Team, which stress-tests new models — told us the industry needs to rethink future releases of all AI models, given the new and coming capabilities.

So imagine Mythos-level power in the hands of the Iranian regime in the middle of a hot war or Russia’s military as it tries to decimate Ukraine.

  • That’s the chief reason the government and AI companies are racing so fast toward a technology so powerful and potentially dangerous. These officials fear that China, armed with superior AI, could present an existential threat to U.S. dominance.

2 cents: So I decided to query Grok as to who are the funders of Anthropic.
From Grok:
Anthropic, the AI company behind Claude, is a privately held public benefit corporation. It has raised tens of billions in funding across multiple rounds, with total capital exceeding $60–70 billion as of early 2026.

anthropic.comMajor Strategic Investors (Big Tech Cloud Partners)These are the most prominent backers, often tied to cloud/compute partnerships:

  • Amazon — The single largest investor, with up to $8 billion committed across rounds (initial $4 billion in 2023–2024, plus another $4 billion in late 2024). Amazon Web Services (AWS) serves as Anthropic’s primary cloud provider. revenuememo.com
  • Google (Alphabet) — Roughly $2 billion invested, with additional cloud/compute deals (including use of Google TPUs). Google is a key strategic partner alongside Amazon. revenuememo.com
  • Microsoft and Nvidia — Participated with significant commitments (Microsoft up to $5 billion and Nvidia up to $10 billion announced in late 2025, with portions included in the 2026 round). These are tied to infrastructure and hardware partnerships. cnbc.com

Recent Major Funding Rounds (2025–2026)

  • Series G (February 2026): $30 billion at a $380 billion post-money valuation.
    Led by GIC (Singapore sovereign wealth fund) and Coatue.
    Co-led by D.E. Shaw Ventures, Dragoneer, Founders Fund, ICONIQ, and MGX.
    Many other participants, including Accel, Altimeter, Baillie Gifford, BlackRock affiliates, Blackstone, Fidelity, General Catalyst, Goldman Sachs Growth Equity, Insight Partners, Jane Street, Lightspeed, Menlo Ventures, Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), Sequoia Capital, Temasek, TPG, and more. anthropic.com
  • Series F (September 2025): $13 billion at a $183 billion post-money valuation.
    Led by ICONIQ, co-led by Fidelity and Lightspeed, with participants including Altimeter, Baillie Gifford, BlackRock/Blackstone affiliates, Coatue, D1 Capital, GIC, Qatar Investment Authority, TPG, and others. anthropic.com
  • Earlier rounds (e.g., Series E in 2025) also involved Lightspeed, Salesforce Ventures, General Catalyst, and others.

Other Notable InvestorsAnthropic has attracted ~90+ investors overall, including:

  • Venture firms: Sequoia Capital, Spark Capital (one of the earliest backers), Bessemer, Menlo Ventures, Lightspeed, General Catalyst, Altimeter, Addition, and Founders Fund.
  • Institutions and sovereign wealth: GIC, Qatar Investment Authority, Temasek, Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, BlackRock affiliates, T. Rowe Price, Fidelity, Jane Street, D1 Capital, etc.
  • Angels/early: Includes individuals like Jaan Tallinn. tracxn.com

The founders (led by Dario Amodei and Daniela Amodei, plus others like Tom Brown, Jack Clark, etc.) retain significant ownership, though it has been diluted by massive fundraising. Anthropic also has a Long-Term Benefit Trust that holds special shares to help govern the company for long-term AI safety and societal benefit (it elects a portion of the board).Note: Exact ownership percentages are not publicly disclosed in detail (as Anthropic is private), but Amazon is widely reported as the largest single external investor without controlling stake. Funding often overlaps with compute/cloud commitments, creating strategic ties beyond pure equity.For the absolute latest or most granular cap table details, official filings or Anthropic’s announcements are the best sources, as rounds continue to evolve rapidly.

Truth about many who claim to be Christians

2 cents:
Bible prophecy real?
We are in final age/era of the body of Christ, the church. Note, the church is NOT roman catholicism, greek orthodox, methodist, baptist, etc.
Their is the spiritual reality of the church, the body of Christ which consists ONLY of those who are born-again meaning their name is written in the Lamb’s book of life.
Their is the physical reality of the church because you & I are mortals. The physical reality of the church has the ability in the hundred of thousands of local gatherings/congregations to have members that are not born again. In the congregations many have apostasized and even some have deliberately aided in the apostasy. Sadly this apostasy does infect and affect the spiritual body of Christ.

We are in the final age of the local church, Laodicea.

Revelation 3:14-22  And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;  [15]  I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.  [16]  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.  [17]  Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:  [18]  I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.  [19]  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.  [20]  Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.  [21]  To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.  [22]  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

BTW, what is next?
Revelation 4:1-2  After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.  [2]  And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

Mr. Barr YOU are COMPLICIT

A commenter by the name of Bogeyfree provided this great comment at TCTH and I wanted to share it immediately.

Another day, another opportunity to remind AG Barr of the massive injustice that lies at his feet and every why millions of Americans know One System of Justice is a huge lie.

1. When no one is penalized for signing and putting forth a known false FISA before the FISC – 4 times!
2. When no one is penalized for altering a FIB 302
3. When no one is penalized for framing a General
4. When no one is penalized for withholding exculpatory evidence
5. When no one is penalized from 14 referrals from Congress
6. When no one is penalized for leaking a FISA to the media even when they have first hand evidence from a FBI SSA
7. When no one is penalized for unmasking hundreds of Americans
8. When no one is penalized after they lie and put in official reports saying people were Russia assets when they knew from day one they were western assets
9. When no one is penalized for allowing and conducting massive illegal spying using the NSA database for years to gather and extract data on millions of Americans even with hard evidence from an audit that proves this illegal spying at a rate of 85% of all queries.
10. When no one is penalized for setting up an unsecured server and for years using it to conduct official government business
11. When no one is penalized for claiming the DNC server was hacked by Russians when a simple interview of Assange could prove this too was a total lie.
12. When no one is penalized for using the Hammer Program to Spy and gather information on thousands of Americans including judges even after testimony from a first hand whistleblower who did the spying and who gave the FIB 47 hard drives of evidence.
13. When no on is penalized for organizing, planning and attempting a coup on a sitting President

And now we have……

14. When no one is penalized for destroying evidence by “accidentally” wiping 31 phones.

So please someone tell me how all of this can result in zero penalties if there is truly one system of justice as our Attorney General preaches.

Some one is going to have to tell me how the current DOJ leadership is any better than the prior one?

2 cents: and then Uranium One, pedovores of MSM and political figures, murder of children, the murder of Seth Rich, the incarceration of Julian Assange etc.
