> Of Anthropic’s 37,966 reported findings, only 7,349 (19.4%) have been made public and just 217 have been marked fixed.

So the article is making a sweeping statement based on the 19.4% of publicly disclosed CVEs?

That statistic suggests the opposite. I'm sure government is aware of many back doors they keep secret and prefer them to remain secret.

"public" here has nothing to do with government holding on to vulns. it's about landing fixes and coordinating complicated / impactful findings

You really think Anthropic would publish stats that say "Yeah, we've found 40k vulns but are going to keep 80% of them to ourselves [and the govt] because those are all the juicy ones"?

Your assumption about governments hoarding zero days is accurate. There's a book on this called "This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends" written by NYT Journalist Nicole Perlroth.
