    Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview — 93.9% on SWE-bench Verified, up 13 points from SOTA in February — has discovered exploitable zero-days in the Linux kernel, FFmpeg, OpenBSD, and every major browser, including chains of 5 vulnerabilities composed into novel exploits.

    AI just found exploitable zero-days in Linux, OpenBSD, FFmpeg, and every major browser — and the capability goes open-weight in 6 months. Meanwhile, your security scanner (Trivy) was the attack vector…

    Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview has autonomously discovered thousands of high-severity zero-day vulnerabilities across every major OS, browser, and the Linux kernel — including bugs undetected for 27 years — and Alex Stamos estimates open-weight models will replicate this capability within 6 months.

    AI just discovered thousands of zero-days in every major OS and browser, and open-weight models will replicate this capability within 6 months — while simultaneously, AI-generated code is shipping 41%…

    Gemma 4 crossed 2 million downloads in its first week and runs at 40 tokens/second on-device via MLX — simultaneously, FIPO credit assignment pushed AIME from 50% to 58% and OLMo 3's async RL achieved 4x training throughput.

    Gemma 4 runs at 40 tok/s on-device and crossed 2M downloads in week one while FIPO and async RL revealed 2-4x post-training headroom — but the open-weight ecosystem faces three simultaneous pressure v…

    OpenAI Frontier shipped 1M lines of production code with 7 engineers and zero human-written code in 5 months — while controlled experiments elsewhere show AI coding tools produce 41% more bugs alongside 26% speed gains, and Meta's 85,000 employees burned 60 trillion tokens last month with zero proven ROI.

    OpenAI proved 7 engineers can match a 500-person org's code output — but the industry's own data shows AI tools ship 41% more bugs, Meta's 85,000 employees can't link 60 trillion tokens to business re…

  5. Leader 40 sources · 8 min

    Anthropic overtook OpenAI at $30B ARR — tripling in four months — but the bigger risk for your org today: controlled experiments now show AI coding tools produce 41% more bugs despite 26% speed gains, GitHub is at 90% availability under 14x agent traffic, and fewer than 3% of organizations can prove AI tool ROI.

    Anthropic just overtook OpenAI at $30B ARR, but the bigger story is that your AI investment may be net-negative: controlled data shows 41% more bugs from AI coding tools, GitHub is cracking under 14x…

    Anthropic disclosed $30B+ annualized revenue — tripled from ~$9B in four months — definitively surpassing OpenAI's $25B and entering Fortune 100 revenue territory while still private.

    Anthropic tripled to $30B+ ARR in four months and overtook OpenAI — the fastest revenue ramp in enterprise software history — while OpenAI's own CFO was frozen out for questioning whether the numbers…
