PANews, March 28: According to CoinDesk, Anthropic has been internally testing its most powerful AI model to date, "Mythos." Notably, Mythos has been described as posing "unprecedented cybersecurity risks," directly impacting the cryptocurrency industry. As AI capabilities advance, their role in smart contract auditing, vulnerability discovery, and attack automation will intensify, potentially escalating the defensive and offensive dynamics in DeFi. Recent events—including Ripple’s AI-powered security upgrades, the Ethereum Foundation’s focus on quantum-resistant security, and the depegging of the Resolv stablecoin due to a contract vulnerability—underscore the critical importance of security. In the AI competition landscape, this incident may also reset industry benchmarks. The decentralized AI network Bittensor recently released the Covenant-72B model, driving a significant surge in TAO. However, technological leaps from centralized labs like Anthropic could further widen the performance gap between centralized and decentralized solutions. Anthropic stated that Mythos is currently only available for testing by "early access customers," due to its high costs and sensitive capabilities, and is not yet ready for public release. The company acknowledged that the leak resulted from a "human error" in its content management system and has since removed the affected public cache. This incident serves as a warning: even AI companies focused on cybersecurity can trigger major data breaches through basic operational mistakes.
