> Mozilla found and fixed 271 vulnerabilities in Firefox 150 while testing Mythos Preview—over ten times more than they found in Firefox 148 with Claude Opus 4.6

4.6 but close.

Universities...for a data center?

That's already factored in the cost of doing business for them.

These people don’t work for Apple or Anthropic.

Except if anyone bothered to read the damn article you'd see that the research showed the highly educated were more likely to have involved fathers. Those are not going to be forced as the person seems to imply.

Have to disagree as a father. The real benefit is the father and child who are now bonding. That doesn't mean the mother can't also bond, it just means it's not one sided.

No that's not why.

I expect crickets to your response.

I really don't understand how you don't understand how your site is completely misleading. Everyone here is telling you that including API reliability in with actual model performance is nonsense.

You give a trinket to a near dictator in order to not have your company, which you're responsible for, dragged over the coals and attacked by a psychopathic goverment. In the grand scheme of things this was a completely genius play and did no harm to anyone.

The LLVM community used this model for years with Phabricator before it was EOL'd and moving to GH and PRs was forced. It's a proven model and works very well in complex code bases, multiple components and dependencies that can have very different reviewer groups. E.g: 1) A foundational change to the IR is the baseline commit 2) Then some tweaks on top to lay the groundwork for uses of that change 3) Some implementation of a new feature that uses the new IR change 4) A final change that flips the feature flag on to enable by default.

Each of these changes are dependent on the last. Without stacked PRs you have o only one PR and reviewing this is huge. Maybe thousands of lines of complex code. Worse, some reviewers only need to see some parts of it and not the rest.

Stacked diffs were a godsend and the LLVM community's number one complaint about moving to GitHub was losing this feature.

I don't need any. I'm not making the claim that it's "most likely a lie".

I'm not talking about Anthropic in particular. Other frontier labs will only be at most a year behind.

I'm seeing the future here beyond just what's in front of us.

Shit. Really? You mean they modified their frontier model to improve it and make it better and just called it a day? That their benchmarks which show step change improvements are just the result of successive changes on an EXISTING MODEL?

Say it isn't so! I for one like to start from scratch each time I release my version of my compiler toolchain.

No one seems to have actually read the system card all the way through.

The reason they didn't publish it was that it's orders of magnitude more successful at writing exploits vs Opus 4.6, which only managed it something like 2% of the time.

Yeah...except Mythos's large context perf seems to be much better than Opus 4.6.
