Claude Mythos: The 'Forbidden' Work in AI Security and a Comprehensive Comparison with Mainstream Models
On April 7, 2026, Anthropic officially released its most powerful AI model to date—Claude Mythos Preview. Described internally as a "generational shift," the model delivers breakthrough advances across multiple areas including code repair, cybersecurity, and reasoning.
