Anthropic Withholds Mythos Preview: Too Potent a Cyber Threat to Release

Anthropic’s decision to withhold the Claude Mythos Preview has punctured the usual celebratory arc of model announcements. Rather than rushing to commercialize another frontier AI, the company says Mythos demonstrated capabilities that could be exploited to find and chain high-severity vulnerabilities in widely used systems—so serious that Anthropic is choosing limited, defensive deployment over general release. A startling discovery in testing In internal evaluations and red-team exercises, Mythos reportedly did…

Accio and Alibaba: How AI Is Rewiring Sourcing for Small Online Sellers

When Mike McClary decided to revive a discontinued flashlight that had once been one of his best sellers, he didn’t dust off the old supplier spreadsheet or spend weeks emailing factories. Instead, he opened Accio, an AI-powered sourcing assistant on Alibaba.com, and started a conversation. Within weeks he had a redesigned product, a recommended factory in Ningbo, and a projected per-unit manufacturing cost that dropped from about $17 to roughly…
