Nearly 1/3 of surveyed people in Anthropic now think entry-level engineers and researchers are likely replaced by Mythos within 3 months [image]

thanks for giving us Opus 4.7 with Mythos mogging it ur actually goated for that. it's probably the coolest thing ive seen in my life, you released an AI model to AI users but you put Mythos there so we know it's the mid version. heroic. i love worse models thats fire bro thanks …

This part of the 4.7 Opus system card is pretty neat and seems potentially worth emulating (Anthropic showed Mythos the private discussions/evidence underlying the system card and asked Mythos if the Opus system card accurately characterized that private evidence) [image]

Opus 4.7 publicly marks the divide between what's available to you (4.7) vs what's available to them (Mythos) Top private AI models were always closed, but now the top tier is both closed and unavailable

Interesting that they are now showing these benchmarks side-by-side with Mythos, to reinforce that you do not have access to the most intelligent model. I always wondered when we'd get here. But we have now for the first time entered the undemocratic era of AI. You are not

Claude Opus 4.7 is here. Significant benchmark jumps over Opus 4.6. OpenAI's turn now. ‘Spud 🥔’ is baked. Let's eat. I bet Spud 🥔 benchmarks are closer to Mythos Preview than Opus 4.7. [image]

Opus 4.7 has arrived 👀 looks like a small improvement over Opus 4.6 in most of the benchmarks, but this image feels like it's advertising Mythos not Opus 4.7 the new /ultrareview in Claude Code looks interesting though, definitely trying that out

Many sightings of Opus 4.7 in the wild, it's looking like today is the day. If it feels like this is too soon, that's because the last Opus release was only 73 days ago. Let's call it Mythos-induced acceleration. Today was also the rumored release day for Spud, aka GPT-5.5. Not

This is incredibly funny. — The update is one of their vaguest yet and theyre basically doing it just because Mythos is never going to be a broad release & they've hit their ceiling w/ Opus 4.6
