Anthropic's restricted release of Mythos AI marks the end of public access to cutting-edge models, signaling a lasting shift in AI power dynamics.

Mythos is Anthropic's current state-of-the-art AI model that will not be released publicly in its full, unmodified form

Since ChatGPT's launch, anyone with minimal cost could access the most capable AI model available; this era has ended with Mythos

Anthropic plans to restrict Mythos access to select companies through Project Glasswing for cybersecurity improvements

Major competitors like OpenAI and Google maintain similar restrictive policies, making unrestricted public release of future SOTA models unlikely

The public may eventually access models as capable as Mythos, but likely not immediately after a new SOTA model's development
