China may have accessed Mythos

中国可能已获取 Mythos 模型访问权限

According to a new report from Semafor, the White House’s decision to impose export restrictions on Anthropic’s Mythos was driven in part by fears that it had been accessed by a group linked to China. If the Chinese government actually had access to Mythos 5 or Fable 5, it would present a serious national security risk. The government could also attempt to reverse engineer the model through distillation, a method in which a “student” AI is trained on a more advanced model to replicate its behavior.

根据 Semafor 的最新报道，白宫决定对 Anthropic 的 Mythos 模型实施出口限制，部分原因是担心该模型已被与中国有关联的组织获取。如果中国政府确实获得了 Mythos 5 或 Fable 5 的访问权限，这将构成严重的国家安全风险。政府还可能尝试通过“蒸馏”（distillation）技术对模型进行逆向工程，这是一种通过更先进的模型来训练“学生”AI 以复制其行为的方法。

The White House has not confirmed this report, and a post on X by Trump advisor David Sacks did not mention China. Instead, Sacks focused on a reported ability for Fable and Mythos to be jailbroken, something that Anthropic has denied. Anthropic has not replied to a request for comment, though a spokesperson told Semafor that the government did not bring up China during its discussions around export controls.

白宫尚未证实这一报道，特朗普顾问大卫·萨克斯（David Sacks）在 X 上发布的帖子中也未提及中国。相反，萨克斯重点关注了有关 Fable 和 Mythos 模型可能被“越狱”（jailbroken）的报道，而 Anthropic 对此予以否认。Anthropic 尚未回复置评请求，但一位发言人告诉 Semafor，政府在讨论出口管制时并未提及中国。

If Mythos was accessed by the Chinese government, it wouldn’t be the first embarrassing breach of Anthropic’s most powerful model. The company has said that Mythos is too dangerous and powerful for public consumption, but a Discord group reportedly had access for two weeks before Anthropic discovered the breach and cut off access.

如果 Mythos 确实被中国政府获取，这将不是 Anthropic 最强模型首次发生令人尴尬的泄露事件。该公司曾表示，Mythos 因过于危险和强大而不适合公开发布，但据报道，一个 Discord 群组曾获得该模型的访问权限长达两周，直到 Anthropic 发现漏洞并切断了访问。
