French AI startup\u00a0Mistral\u00a0is reportedly working on an alternative to\u00a0Anthropic\u2019s Mythos.<\/p>\n

As Bloomberg News\u00a0reported\u00a0Wednesday (May 13), the company is in talks with banks in Europe about an answer to the American artificial intelligence (AI) model, which is said to be able to find\u00a0cybersecurity weaknesses\u00a0at unheard of scale and speeds.<\/p>\n

Sources familiar with the matter told Bloomberg that Mistral has been working on the model, though it\u2019s not clear when it will debut. The report notes that Europe\u2019s banks are facing increased pressure to find and fix cyber vulnerabilities, but find themselves at a disadvantage given their\u00a0lack of access to Mythos.<\/p>\n

Mistral was already working with its banking clients on using AI to identify security flaws before the release of Mythos, but is now at work on an off-the-shelf iteration of a product it can roll out more widely, one of the sources said.<\/p>\n

The report points out that Anthropic\u2019s decision to limit access to Mythos has triggered alarm around the world about AI\u2019s ability to make it past cyber defenses, as well as a race among other companies to develop similarly powerful tools.<\/p>\n

Only a handful of organizations \u2014 including banks, cybersecurity firms and tech companies \u2014 have been\u00a0granted access\u00a0to Mythos. As Bloomberg wrote, early analysis indicates that the model could carry out autonomous attacks.<\/p>\n

News about Mistral\u2019s project comes on the heels of\u00a0OpenAI\u2019s announcement of Daybreak, a tool\u00a0designed, as CEO Sam Altman put it, to boost security and\u00a0\u201ccontinuously secure software.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAI is already good and about to get super good at cybersecurity; we\u2019d like to start working with as many companies as possible now to help them continuously secure themselves,\u201d Altman wrote on social media platform X.<\/p>\n
