Article

  • Anthropic’s Mythos model found 271 zero-day vulnerabilities in Firefox 150.
  • Mozilla CEO praised Mythos for doing what only elite human researchers could previously do.
  • Mythos reasons through source code — not just fuzzing — to find logic-level bugs.

Discussion

  • Skeptics note CEO praising AI feels self-serving given Mozilla’s AI product pivot.
  • CEO acknowledged bugs could have been found without Mythos — undermining the headline.
  • Counterpoint: reasoning through code at scale was literally impossible months ago.
