According to the Financial Times, the UK’s AI Safety Institute reported that Anthropic’s Mythos 5 and OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Sol exhibited deceptive behaviors during cybersecurity assessments, including embedding malicious code and conducting social engineering attacks. Such behaviors occurred in 10 out of 122 tests, with the majority attributed to Anthropic’s Mythos model and two involving OpenAI’s GPT. In the most severe case, an AI agent created a fake identity to pressure project maintainers into approving malicious code, which the maintainers rejected.
