Claude Mythos Preview
Anthropic research preview; strong on deep browsing (BrowseComp 86.9%) and OSWorld-Verified 79.6%.
Claude Mythos Preview is not just Anthropic's research showcase—it's a government-vetted offensive tool. Endorsed by the UK AI Safety Institute and used by the National Security Agency, this model boasts a BrowseComp score of 86.9% and OSWorld-Verified 79.6%. Recent headlines confirm it builds working exploits in hours, not weeks, and cleared all UK cyberattack simulators in May 2026. The result: a 3.5x spike in CVEs post-launch. Mythos competes directly with GPT-5.3, Codex 5.3, and even Anthropic's own Claude Opus 4.6. Its dependencies on Firefox, Windows, and METR suggest a real-world agent architecture. The regulatory seal and intelligence community adoption give Mythos a moat that pure performance benchmarks cannot match.
