Anthropic organized a coalition before releasing Mythos Preview—treating infrastructure risk as a design problem requiring stakeholder alignment rather than a post-hoc policy question. The move reflects genuine concern about the model lowering barriers for malicious actors targeting digital infrastructure. It raises a harder question: which actors get early access and warning, and who bears responsibility if the capability leaks? This precedent will shape how capabilities-first labs operationalize "safety" in 2025, moving beyond red-teaming toward pre-release governance that determines which communities get consulted and which remain downstream.
