AI Weekly Issue #496: Anthropic's Pentagon model is now everyone's model

Anthropic released its Mythos AI model to the public, eliminating the distinction between classified military-grade and commercial frontier AI. DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis advanced his AGI timeline to 2029, citing AlphaProof Nexus's ability to solve nine open mathematical problems at minimal cost. The week also saw critical vulnerabilities in Starlette, a coordinated botnet takedown by CrowdStrike, and major workforce shifts as Uber exhausted its annual AI token budget by April and ClickUp restructured to operate with 3,000 internal agents alongside 1,000 human employees.

Anthropic released Mythos to the public, collapsing the wall between cleared-contractor frontier AI and developer-grade frontier AI in a single press release. DeepMind's Demis Hassabis moved his AGI timeline from "five to ten years" to "a real possibility by 2029" and tied it explicitly to AlphaProof Nexus solving nine open Erdős problems for the cost of a steak dinner. Critical zero-days hit Starlette (a million AI agents on the wire) and CrowdStrike led a coordinated takedown of the Glassworm developer botnet across four C2 channels. BNP Paribas formalized a sovereign-AI security partnership with Mistral while Beijing froze overseas travel for top AI engineers at Alibaba and DeepSeek. And the AI-displaces-workforce arithmetic got honest: Uber burned its full-year AI token budget by April, ClickUp restructured to 1,000 humans alongside 3,000 internal agents, and Sam Altman publicly reversed his white-collar-apocalypse prediction.
