Europe is being left dangerously exposed because Anthropic won't share Mythos with EU regulators or European banks, even as the model can find vulnerabilities in every major operating system. Skipping a European Parliament hearing only deepens the concern that a handful of mostly American organizations get to decide who stays safe. The EU's AI Act enforcement powers kick in August 2026, and regulators are right to demand access before a crisis hits.
Expanding Mythos access to EU institutions isn't a matter of fairness, it remains a security risk that warrants caution. Anthropic itself warned the model has uncovered thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities across major platforms, and scaling it beyond tightly controlled users risks straining oversight and compute capacity needed for secure deployment. Rushing broader rollout before safeguards are solid is exactly how catastrophic cyberattacks happen.
