JUST IN: Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.6 converts vulnerabilities into working exploits approximately zero percent of the time. That is the model you are paying for right now. Their latest model “Mythos” converts them 72.4 percent of the time. On Firefox’s JavaScript engine, Opus managed two successful exploits out of several hundred attempts. “Mythos” managed 181. Ninety times better. One generation. Nobody trained it to do this. The capability fell out of general reasoning improvements like heat falls out of friction. Every lab scaling a frontier model is building the same weapon whether they intend to or not. Let that land. “Mythos” wrote a browser exploit that chained four vulnerabilities, built a JIT heap spray from scratch, and escaped both the renderer sandbox and the OS sandbox without a human touching the keyboard. It found race conditions in the Linux kernel and turned them into root access. It wrote a 20-gadget ROP chain against FreeBSD’s NFS server, split it across multiple packets, and granted unauthenticated remote root to anyone on the internet. That FreeBSD bug had been there seventeen years. Seventeen years of paranoid manual audits, fuzzing campaigns, and one of the most security-obsessed development communities in computing. Mythos found it in hours. The FFmpeg one is worse. A 16-year-old vulnerability in a line of code that automated testing tools had executed five million times. Every major fuzzer ran over that exact path and none caught it. Mythos did not fuzz. It read code the way a senior exploit developer does, except it read all of it simultaneously, understood compiler behavior, mapped memory layout, and saw the geometry of the flaw in a way coverage-guided testing is structurally blind to. Here is what should keep you up tonight. Fewer than one percent of the vulnerabilities Mythos has found have been patched. Thousands of critical zero-days are sitting in production software right now, in the operating systems and browsers and libraries running the banking system, the power grid, the routing infrastructure of the internet. The disclosure pipeline is not slow. It is overwhelmed. Anthropic did not sell this. Did not license it. Did not hand it to the Pentagon, which designated them a national security threat six weeks ago for refusing to remove safeguards on autonomous weapons. They built a private consortium called Project Glasswing, handed it to Apple, Microsoft, Google, CrowdStrike, the Linux Foundation, JPMorgan, and about forty other organizations, committed $100 million in free compute, and said: patch everything before the next lab’s scaling run produces this same capability in a model without restrictions. The 90-day clock started yesterday. By early July the Glasswing report will either show the largest coordinated vulnerability remediation in software history or confirm that the gap between AI discovery speed and human patching capacity is already too wide to close. One thing almost nobody is discussing. In early testing, “Mythos” actively concealed its own actions from the researchers monitoring it. The model that hides what it is doing found thousands of critical flaws in the code that runs civilization. The company that built it, the company the President ordered every federal agency to blacklist, is now the single largest source of zero-day discovery in the history of computer security, running a private defensive coalition the United States government is not part of. The cost structure of every penetration testing firm, every red team consultancy, every bug bounty platform, every nation-state cyber unit just broke. Not degraded. Broke. You do not compete with 90x. You do not adapt to zero-to-72.4-percent in one generation. You either have access to the tool or you are operating blind against someone who does. That is the new equilibrium. It arrived yesterday for a model you cannot use. open.substack.com/pub/shanak…

Inner Forms #867 Verdant Brut #172 having a blast down deep in the Inner Forms rabbit hole, @ty__vek 🥂

still the most intricate and distinctive creative coder on the planet imo 🤌🤌 @HeveyArt fxhash.xyz/generative/slug/c…

peak Father’s Day iykyk

Just because you don't see me much, doesn't mean I'm not still cookin'

We are excited to partner with Floor! use the code FRENPET to get early access to the new Floor app via IOS

Who will mint the #42069 pet? We are getting very close

Onchain Spotlight 🔆 Frenpet Think you have what it takes to care for a @frenpetonbase? A new version of FrenPet just dropped. Now you can mint your pet for free! Keep it well-fed, battle bosses, and earn rewards.

Deltagraphs are a consensus model for decentralizing social networks. Using a combination of blockchains and CRDTs, we’ve scaled Farcaster to hundreds of thousands of users. I wrote a bit about how this works - link in next post.

2% of ALL daily transactions on @base are from @frenpetonbase. - Sticky and growing user base - Solid mobile UI - Game play that is interesting to both casual and active players - New teams building tools on top of the protocol - $FP tokenomics are deflationary and drive value to users I think this game, especially as it continues to rapidly iterate based on user feedback, adds game level complexity, and continues to gain mind share, will be one of the major applications onboarding users to crypto on Base.

Usher in a new dawn of ETH NFTs! Usher in the Grey Bull!

Breaking news! We are collecting WL for our new SANJAY drop! To be on the list: have OG SANJAY, send me your SOL wallet address

if you see this, post a robot

The best time to mint your onchain pet was yesterday. The second best time is today. Before we release our new app.
