↑ 1%Anthropic has agreed to pay SpaceX nearly $45 billion over three years for computing resources to support its Claude AI software, according to SpaceX's initial public offering paperwork. The deal involves monthly payments of $1.25 billion through May 2029, with reduced fees during the initial ramp-up period. The arrangement grants Anthropic access to over 300 megawatts of computing capacity from SpaceX's Colossus 1 data centre in Memphis, Tennessee, which houses more than 220,000 Nvidia GPUs. Anthropic has expanded the agreement to include Colossus 2, with plans to scale up Nvidia GB200 capacity throughout June. The partnership represents a significant boost for SpaceX, whose annual revenue currently sits around $18 billion. SpaceX indicated it expects to enter additional similar services contracts leveraging unused compute capacity.
Mozilla has discovered 271 security vulnerabilities in Firefox 150 using early access to Anthropic's Mythos Preview AI model. The findings represent a significant increase from the 22 bugs detected by Anthropic's Opus 4.6 model in Firefox 148 last month. Firefox CTO Bobby Holley said Mythos is "every bit as capable" as the world's best security researchers, whilst eliminating the need to "concentrate many months of costly human effort to find a single bug". He believes AI tools like Mythos tilt the cybersecurity balance towards defenders by making vulnerability discovery cheaper. Anthropic released Mythos Preview to a limited group of industry partners earlier this month. Mozilla CTO Raffi Krikorian argues such tools are particularly crucial for open source projects, which often rely on insufficient volunteer maintenance for security.
Anthropic's new AI model Mythos has sparked concern amongst policymakers at International Monetary Fund meetings over its potential to accelerate sophisticated cyberattacks on the global financial system. However, its developers argue the technology could provide banks with their strongest defence yet. What distinguishes Mythos is its ability to chain multiple security weaknesses into coordinated attacks, effectively automating complex cyber intrusions. This capability could significantly expand the pool of potential attackers in the near term. The model's creators emphasise a longer-term benefit: the same technology could enable banks to detect and patch vulnerabilities faster than ever, potentially shifting the balance towards defenders if widely adopted. The dual-use nature of Mythos has created both panic and optimism in boardrooms and governments regarding global financial system security.
Indian fintech companies including One97 Communications, Razorpay Software and Pine Labs are pushing Anthropic for early access to Mythos, the AI model that has raised global concerns about cyberattack risks. The firms want to test Mythos on their own systems to detect vulnerabilities following Anthropic's announcement of a limited rollout. The San Francisco-based AI developer considers the model too dangerous for wider release but major Indian financial technology companies are seeking early access to assess potential security threats to their platforms.
The US government is preparing to provide major federal agencies with access to Anthropic's new AI model, Mythos, according to a memo reviewed by Bloomberg News. Gregory Barbaccia, federal chief information officer at the White House Office of Management and Budget, informed Cabinet department officials on Tuesday that OMB is establishing protections to enable agencies to use the closely guarded AI tool. The move comes amid concerns that the powerful model could significantly increase cybersecurity risks. OMB is working to set up appropriate safeguards before rolling out access to the system across government departments.
