A frontier AI lab just decided its most capable model was too dangerous to release. That model—internally called Mythos—autonomously discovered thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities across every major operating system and browser, including bugs that experts had failed to catch for decades. A Google DeepMind researcher involved in the evaluation said he’d found more bugs in a few weeks than in the rest of his career combined.
