The Story in Brief
Anthropic is internally testing an unreleased AI model called Model 2 that is more capable than its top-end Mythos model, but has no plans to release it publicly, Axios reports. The company says Model 2 shows improved results on coding, agentic tasks and data generation, though the performance gain is not as large as the jump from Opus 4.6 to Mythos.
Anthropic's risk report raised the misalignment risk from "very low" to "low" partly due to recent cybersecurity incidents. The company also noted signs of AI models becoming capable of automated R&D, which could be misused. Other AI firms like OpenAI are also slowing releases of advanced models due to safety concerns.
The Indian Opinion
Anthropic's decision to keep Model 2 internal fuels debate between safety advocates who praise caution and critics who suspect the company is overplaying risk to avoid regulation. The truth likely lies in between: responsible testing is necessary, but the lack of transparency about specific dangers invites speculation. Indian readers tracking AI regulation should ask: will the company disclose the exact cybersecurity incidents that prompted the risk upgrade? That number would settle whether the caution is proportional.
