The only surprise is that it's publicly being stated. I'm sure every major intelligence organization in the world has the all the components of Mythos and are running it locally. That's what they do. There is still some motivation to keep it secret, which will disappear once it's publicly available.

I am willing to bet against that

against those components being Mythos specifically, or against every major intelligence agency using frontier models to find vulns?

I don’t think the GRU is running Mythos on their servers, for example

not Mythos, no, but they're probably running some kind of vuln-finding frontier models. maybe GLM or Kimi fine-tuned on a dataset of past CVEs or something.

Every US intelligence org probably has at least API access, but anything outside of the US? No chance.
