There is absolutely zero reason to believe you could use this same approach to find and exploit vulns without Mythos finding them first. We already know that older LLMs can’t do what Mythos has done. Anthropic and others have been trying for years.

Why? They claim this small model found a bug given some context. I assume the context wasn’t “hey! There’s a very specific type of bug sitting in this function when certain conditions are met.”

We keep assuming that the models need to get bigger and better, and the reality is we’ve not exhausted the ways in which to use the smaller models. It’s like the Playstation 2 games that came out 10 years later. Well now all the tricks were found, and everything improved.

There's one huge reason to believe it: we can actually use small models, but we cant use Anthropic's special marketing model that's too dangerous for mere mortals.
