The Financial Times reported, citing sources, that despite Anthropic being embroiled in litigation with the Pentagon, the US AI startup has dispatched engineers to the US National Security Agency (NSA) to deploy its AI model Claude Mythos for offensive cyber warfare.According to two people familiar with the matter, Anthropic has sent six employees to the NSA as so-called "forward-deployed engineers" to help guide the use of the powerful AI system and customize the model for specific applications.Related NewsRANGE TECHNOLOGY (300442.SZ) Reportedly In Talks for HKD20B Loan to Build Sha Ling Data ParkIt remains unclear whether Anthropic's engineers are also assisting the NSA in carrying out actual cyber attack operations. However, one source said Mythos would be highly useful for penetrating the network systems of countries such as China or Iran.A person close to Anthropic said, "Offense is the best defense," adding that US adversaries are likely developing their own AI-driven offensive technologies.Earlier this week, Anthropic announced it would provide Mythos to 150 institutions across 15 countries, significantly expanding its availability beyond the US and the UK. When Mythos was launched in April this year, it was initially limited to a small number of designated institutions in the US.
