People love defending Anthropics shortcomings…

“Mythos isn’t supposed to be that good at security, because actually Anthropic was referring more about running llms than mythos specifically”

“The opus model is worse because they have no compute because they are training mythos. The degraded performance is justified!”

“All the bugs in Claude code is just because the models are so good they are just looping and are shipping fast”

Constantly see people crawl out of the woodwork to defend a trillion dollars company overhyping every press release it gives

If policitians can buy online supporters to manipulate perception during their election campaigns, I'd expect private corporations would too. Of course people can become very biased on their own, but an online PR/Marketing/Influencing campaign might encourage them to be more vocal.

It's silly to act like they've got mud on their face when Mythos and Opus are apparently some of the very best models. Anyone that has found value out of previous LLMs is likely to find more value out of the newest ones. The only thing Mythos looks bad against is the very tall bar some people have imagined. People are putting too much weight on marketing and then reaction to marketing.

No, what others are doing, which I've done myself in the past too, is to evaluate how much their marketing matches up with reality, then share our experience about that. Very different than just "putting too much weight on marketing".
