Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon said he is “hyper-aware” of Anthropic’s Mythos AI model and is working closely with the company after it raised cybersecurity concerns about the system.

The United States bank has been tracking rapid advances in artificial intelligence, including large language models, as part of broader efforts to defend against cyber threats.

“Obviously the LLMs are making rapid progress and we’re hyper-aware of the enhanced capabilities of these new models with the help of the US government and the model publishers,” Solomon said on Monday.

This includes Anthropic, the company behind the Claude family of AI tools. Last week, it said its latest model, Mythos, poses an unprecedented cybersecurity risk because it can uncover weaknesses in IT systems.

“AI models have reached a level of coding capability where they can surpass all but the most skilled humans at finding and exploiting software vulnerabilities,” Anthropic said in a blogpost last Wednesday.

However, Solomon added, “We’re aware of Mythos and its capabilities … We have the model. We’re working closely with Anthropic and all of our security vendors to kind of harness frontier capabilities wherever it’s possible. And this will continue to be an important focus.

“We are very focused on supplementing our cyber and infrastructure resilience. And this is part of our ongoing capabilities that we have been investing in, and are accelerating our investment in.”

The development follows reports that US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent summoned Solomon and other major American banking executives to Washington last week to discuss the Mythos model.

The meeting reportedly involved leaders of so-called systemically important banks, institutions whose disruption or collapse is considered by regulators to pose a risk to overall financial stability.
