The new Mythos release

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei released a new version of the Mythos AI model that demonstrates PhD-level reasoning in microeconomics, generating and answering its own original exam questions. The model produced a creative question on market design and mechanism theory, then provided a sophisticated analysis that Ethan Mollick described as feeling like working with a genuine expert colleague rather than a tool. The release signals a significant leap in AI's ability to engage in high-level academic discourse and original intellectual work.

Write your own exam question and answer it, for microeconomics. Not a math question, but a high level PhD level question. You will be graded on the quality, interest, and creativity of the question as much as by your answer.

The answer. Here is Ethan Mollick on Mythos.
