Mythos Finds a Curl Vulnerability

In April 2026, Anthropic's new AI model Mythos gained attention for its exceptional ability to identify security vulnerabilities in source code, though the company initially restricted access to selected organizations rather than releasing it publicly. Daniel Stenberg, lead developer of curl, was offered access to Mythos through the Linux Foundation's Alpha Omega project but experienced delays; instead, someone with access ran an analysis of curl using the model and provided him with a report. The article discusses Stenberg's experience obtaining this AI-powered security analysis of the curl project.
