On June 10, Cointelegraph reported that Anthropic has released the first public version of the Claude Mythos model, Fable 5. Despite its built-in safety measures, crypto users are worried it could be used for malicious purposes. The model previously had over 10,000 high-risk vulnerabilities identified in 'systemically important software.' Anthropic stated that Fable 5 is prepared for general use, with safety measures redirecting topics like cybersecurity to other models. Simon Dedic, founder of Moonrock Capital, warned that the cost and skill requirements for exploiting Fable 5 to find vulnerabilities in smart contracts will 'drop to nearly zero,' making unverified protocols targets and allowing known vulnerabilities to be continuously exploited. He advised users to revoke wallet authorizations, move assets out of protocols, and transfer them to new hardware wallets. In contrast, Michael Egorov, co-founder of Curve, believes the threat is exaggerated, noting that the amount of smart contract code is only a few thousand lines, and that humans and conventional AI can reason sufficiently. He argues that the real risks lie in operational security and supply chain attacks.
