China may have accessed Mythos
Summary
According to a report, the White House may have restricted exports of Anthropic's Mythos AI model because it feared a group linked to China had accessed it, which would pose serious national security risks. One concern is that the Chinese government could use distillation (training a simpler AI on a more advanced one to copy its behavior) to reverse engineer the model.
