Good morning, {{ first_name | AI enthusiasts }}. Anthropic said Mythos was too dangerous to release to the public. Weeks later, a Discord group is reportedly using it daily.<\/p>\n

Working off naming conventions leaked in a data breach and a borrowed contractor login, the group slipped into Anthropic’s most restricted AI to date \u2014 a bad start for keeping increasingly powerful systems under wraps.<\/p>\n

The Rundown: Access to Anthropic’s Mythos model reportedly leaked<\/a> into a Discord group within days of launch, after the users reportedly guessed the company\u2019s deployment URL and naming using patterns leaked in the recent Mercor breach.<\/p>\n

The cybersecurity model was released<\/a> on April 10 to select partners under \u2018Project Glasswing\u2019, with Anthropic deeming it too powerful for public release. <\/p>\n

Bloomberg reported that a private Discord group tracking unreleased models accessed Mythos on release day and has been using it regularly.<\/p>\n

One member had vendor credentials through contract work, with leaked Mercor details helping the group locate and access Mythos online. <\/p>\n

The group told Bloomberg that they do not use Mythos for cyberattacks or other malicious activities, and also claimed access to other unreleased models.<\/p>\n

Why it matters: The first alleged unauthorized use of the AI model that had the White House and others calling emergency meetings didn’t come from China, Russia, or another rival nation \u2014 it came from a random Discord group. Not a great start, and the problem only compounds as partner access grows and the models get more dangerous.<\/p>\n

SPACEX & CURSOR<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Rundown: SpaceX just announced<\/a> a new partnership with coding startup Cursor and locked in an option to acquire the company for $60B later this year, handing Elon Musk a shortcut into a race xAI has spent the year losing to Anthropic and OpenAI.<\/p>\n

CEO Michael Truell said<\/a> each release of Cursor\u2019s Composer models ran into a compute ceiling, with SpaceX’s Colossus now providing the needed power.<\/p>\n

Cursor is guaranteed $10B for the partnership, no matter what, with the full $60B acquisition only happening if Musk exercises it before year-end. <\/p>\n

xAI poached<\/a> Cursor leads Andrew Milich and Jason Ginsberg last month, with Musk saying the startup \u201cwas not built right the first time around\u201d. <\/p>\n

Cursor was set to raise<\/a> $2B at a $50B valuation before the deal, with SpaceX holding off<\/a> on the acquisition due to complications with the IPO process.<\/p>\n

Why it matters: Musk has tried and failed so far to build a frontier coding tool inside xAI, with Grok having no answer to Claude Code or Codex. This deal swaps in-house build for outside product to level up quickly, and gives Cursor the ability to potentially shift into a SpaceX-fueled coding lab instead of a compute-starved startup. <\/p>\n

AI TRAINING<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Rundown: In this guide, you will learn a two-step voice dictation system that immediately makes you write better and even improves itself over time.<\/p>\n

Install\u00a0Typeless<\/a>\u00a0for dictation, open a Codex\/Claude Code session, and dictate:\u00a0\u201cDraft an outline for a short internal memo about [topic]\u201d<\/p>\n

Here’s the key part. Tell the agent:\u00a0\u201cSave this as the initial draft and do not edit it. Now create a separate working draft that we can revise\u201d<\/p>\n

Read it and use\u00a0Typeless\u00a0to add comments, pointing out inaccurate things, then things that are missing, and finally phrases that sound generic or too AI<\/p>\n

Prompt: \u201cRewrite the draft using the comments I left. Write it in my tone. Use my verbiage. No em dashes. Preserve the core points, but cut anything that sounds generic.\u201d Review the rewrite and do one more pass and edit if needed<\/p>\n

Pro tip: Have an agent compare the untouched initial draft against the final drafts every week. It will extract the edits you make and update editorial rules for the future.<\/p>\n

OPENAI<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Rundown: OpenAI just introduced<\/a> Workspace Agents in ChatGPT, new Codex-powered shared bots designed to tackle multi-step team workflows autonomously across ChatGPT and Slack. <\/p>\n

Workspace agents are pitched as an ‘evolution’ of 2023’s solo-user GPTs, with old GPTs still working for now and a conversion tool coming soon.<\/p>\n

Backed by Codex in the cloud, agents can retain memory, call connected apps, and live in Slack or trigger on a schedule when users are offline.<\/p>\n

Inside OAI, sales reps use the feature for account research and follow-up drafts, while accounting runs it for journal entries and reconciliations.<\/p>\n

Custom agents can be created via ChatGPT and shared across teams, with the ability to set restrictions on data usage, approvals, and permissions.<\/p>\n

Why it matters: OAI’s enterprise push is no secret, and workspace agents solve a real problem \u2014 every team has accumulated scattered prompts and half-built workflows over the last two years, and few have unified them. The initial GPT Store didn’t stick, but agentic upgrades and an enterprise shift could help this debut find a better fit.<\/p>\n

Anthropic faced<\/a> backlash after Claude Code was removed for some new users on the Pro tier, with the company saying it was running a \u201csmall test\u201d on the signup flow.<\/p>\n

Google unveiled<\/a> its new 8th-generation TPUs built for agent workloads, separating training and inference into two separate chips for the first time. <\/p>\n

Ideogram launched<\/a> Custom Models, letting users fine-tune image generation on 15-100 of their own assets for consistent on-brand outputs.<\/p>\n

Google revealed<\/a> 75% of its in-house code is now AI-generated, with the company seeing major gains in security and operations through AI and agentic implementations. <\/p>\n

Odyssey introduced<\/a> Odyssey-2 Max, a 3x-larger world model that topped physics benchmark scores in real time and is now in private beta.<\/p>\n

Alibaba’s Qwen team open-sourced<\/a> Qwen3.6-27B, a 27B model that surpassed its own 397B predecessor across top coding benchmarks.<\/p>\n
