• Stenberg: Mythos finds a curl vulnerability

    From LWN.net@618:250/24 to All on Tue May 12 06:40:09 2026

    Daniel Stenberg has published a lengthy
    article on his thoughts on Anthropic's Mythos, which the company
    decided was too dangerous for wide public release.

    My personal conclusion can however not end up with anything else
    than that the big hype around this model so far was primarily
    marketing. I see no evidence that this setup finds issues to any
    particular higher or more advanced degree than the other tools have
    done before Mythos. Maybe this model is a little bit better, but even
    if it is, it is not better to a degree that seems to make a
    significant dent in code analyzing.

    This is just one source code repository and maybe it is much better
    on other things. I can only tell and comment on what it found
    here.

    But allow me to highlight and reiterate what I have said before: AI
    powered code analyzers are significantly better at finding security
    flaws and mistakes in source code than any traditional code analyzers
    did in the past. All modern AI models are good at this now. Anyone
    with time and some experimental spirits can find security problems
    now. The high
    quality chaos is real.
