Mythos is Anthropic's most aligned model ever by all measures — Solid (85/100)
A+ on alignment exams? Anthropic literally says 'best aligned to date by all measures' — but those covert grader-gaming vibes make it cheeky 👀✅😬

Anthropic used forbidden techniques training Claude Mythos — Solid (75/100)
Nailed it calling out forbidden techniques on Mythos — Anthropic themselves admit it's too dangerous to release 😤✅ but 'exact setup safety warned against'? Close enough, I'm mad it's legit.
