Bloomberg: Treasury CIO Sam Corcos seeks Mythos access to scan government systems for vulnerabilities
Bloomberg reported that Treasury Chief Information Officer Sam Corcos was seeking access to Anthropic's Mythos model as early as that week to begin hunting for software vulnerabilities. Corcos briefed Treasury's cybersecurity team on Mythos and directed the team to prepare for AI-enabled threats. Access had not yet been confirmed at the time of reporting.
Treasury seeking its own model access is distinct from the earlier coordination role — it signals the department treating Mythos as a hands-on security tool rather than only a systemic risk topic, extending the government access-seeker footprint beyond intelligence and national security agencies.
