The Trump administration may encourage banks to try the Anthropic Mythos model

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell called bank officials to a meeting this week where they urged the officials to use the new Anthropic Mythos model to identify problems, according to Bloomberg.

Indeed, while JPMorgan Chase is the only bank named as one of the early adopters of the model, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Bank of America, and Morgan Stanley are said to be testing Mythos as well.

Anthropic announced the model this week but he said it will limit access for now, in part because Mythos — while not specifically trained in cybersecurity — is very good at finding security threats. (Some people think this was the case hype or simply smart business marketing strategy.)

The report is particularly surprising because Anthropic is he is currently fighting the Trump administration in court at the Department of Defense Anthropic selection as a contributing risk; This appointment came after negotiations broke down in the company’s attempt to limit the extent to which its AI models could be used by the government.

Meanwhile, The Financial Times reports that UK financial regulators are also discussing the risks posed by Mythos.
