■ AI-SUMMARIZED FROM 5 SOURCES ▸ TIMELINE

Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview has become the first AI model to clear all cyberattack simulations from Britain's AI Security Institute. The milestone underscores accelerating AI capabilities in security-critical domains.

The UK's AI Security Institute (AISI) has twice revised its estimates for how quickly AI cyber capabilities are advancing. The agency initially predicted an eight-month doubling rate, then compressed that to 4.7 months. Both timelines have now been exceeded. Mythos cleared every attack simulation in AISI's test suite, surpassing OpenAI's GPT-5.5 and all previous models. The achievement marks a significant benchmark in AI safety evaluation. Anthropicâ€™s head of red teaming, Logan Graham, cautioned about the rapid pace of advancement. "Within a year, Mythos will probably look quite dumb," he said, highlighting expectations for even more capable systems in development. The results reflect broader trends in AI development speed and capability growth, raising questions about the sufficiency of current safety evaluation frameworks.
