# NSA said to be readying Anthropic’s Mythos for use in cyber operations

**[TechCrunch](https://daily.dev/sources/tc)** · 2 min read · 3 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Anthropic has reportedly deployed engineers to the NSA to help the intelligence agency use its frontier cybersecurity AI model, Mythos, in cyber operations. This follows earlier reporting that the NSA was using Mythos despite a federal ban stemming from the Pentagon designating Anthropic a 'supply chain risk' after the company refused to allow its models to be used for mass domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons. Governments are scrambling to access Mythos, which Anthropic has restricted due to fears its cybersecurity capabilities could be exploited for hacking.
