Publisher excerpt: Anthropic has never published a technical paper on Claude Mythos. That has not stopped the research community from theorizing. A new open-source project called OpenMythos, released on GitHub by Kye Gomez, attempts something ambitious: a first-principles theoretical reconstruction of what the Claude…
