Why did Anthropic restrict access to Claude Mythos?

Anthropic restricts access to Claude Mythos because of the potential for its advanced capabilities to be misused. The model can provide sophisticated assistance with cybersecurity and biological research, including work that could contribute to cyberattacks or the development of biological weapons. Anthropic therefore makes Mythos available only to approved users rather than offering unrestricted access.
