What Is Mythos? The AI That Found a 27-Year-Old Vulnerability

What is Mythos? Mythos is Anthropic's experimental AI-powered vulnerability research system. In testing, it identified a 27-year-old OpenBSD vulnerability and developed a working exploit with minimal human involvement. In this episode of Open Source Open Mic, we break down what this means, how it works, and why it matters far beyond a single bug. As AI gets better at finding vulnerabilities, the window between discovery and exploitation keeps shrinking. Security teams aren't just dealing with more code anymore. They're dealing with machine-speed software risk. If AI can find vulnerabilities faster, how do developers keep shipping with confidence? Subscribe to stay up-to-date on the latest.
