When Anthropic released benchmark results for Claude Mythos, the number that stopped most people was 93.9% on SWE-bench. That’s not a marginal improvement over previous models — it’s a fundamentally different level of software engineering capability.
For context: Top-performing models in 2024 were cracking 40–55% on SWE-bench Verified. A score approaching 94% suggests something has shifted, not just improved.
What problem does it solve?
It will shape the Cybersecurity landscape. Specifically, the massive gap between how fast vulnerabilities are…
