TFTC -- 16d [root] 
|    The Treasury Secretary and the Fed Chair just called an emergency meeting with the CEOs of America's six largest
|    banks over the cyber risks posed by Anthropic's Mythos AI model.
|    
|    Bessent and Powell summoned the heads of Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Goldman
|    Sachs to the Treasury building on Tuesday, arranged on short notice and previously unreported. All are
|    classified as systemically important financial institutions. JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon couldn't attend but JPMorgan
|    is already among Anthropic's 12 launch partners.
|    
|    The model is Anthropic's Mythos. During testing, it autonomously identified and exploited vulnerabilities in
|    every major operating system and web browser. It found thousands of zero-day flaws, including a 27-year-old bug
|    in OpenBSD and a vulnerability in FFmpeg that had survived five million passes by automated testing tools. None
|    of this required specialized cybersecurity training. The capability emerged from general advances in coding and
|    reasoning.
|    
|    Powell's presence is the signal. This isn't a policy meeting. It's being treated as systemic risk. Having both
|    the Treasury Secretary and the Fed Chair in the room together on an AI cybersecurity briefing is without recent
|    precedent.
|    
|    Anthropic has restricted Mythos to roughly 40 companies through Project Glasswing, backed by up to $100 million
|    in usage credits for defensive security work. Partners include Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Nvidia, Cisco,
|    CrowdStrike, and Palo Alto Networks. The goal is to harden critical infrastructure before comparable models
|    emerge from other labs.
|    
|    As we covered earlier this week, a security researcher has argued that some of Mythos's headline numbers are
|    overstated. But the fact that the two most powerful financial officials in the country are convening emergency
|    meetings with bank CEOs suggests the government's threat assessment goes beyond the public marketing.

How many of these vulnerabilities have been purposely left open for espionage purposes I wonder
