Anthropic’s “Too Dangerous” Mythos Model Leak, OpenAI’s ChatGPT Images 2.0, and AI Data Centers’ Dirty Power Fix

Jim Love covers four major AI stories: reports that a private group gained unauthorized access via a third-party environment to Anthropic’s unreleased internal model “Claude Mythos,” considered too risky to release and reportedly highly effective at finding long-hidden software vulnerabilities, including helping Mozilla patch 271 issues; OpenAI’s rollout of “ChatGPT Images 2.0,” which it says can reason before generating, improve text rendering and layouts, and create consistent multi-image sets suited to business workflows; secondary-market frenzy valuing Anthropic near $1T while reported demand for OpenAI shares cools, driven by strong enterprise growth and scarcity; and a Wired investigation warning some AI data centers may solve power shortages by building onsite natural-gas generation, potentially adding massive greenhouse gas emissions.
