Do you have any good sources on that? I have seen things to suggest that not all of the hype is true, but so far I have not encountered anyone claiming all of the hype is untrue. Which is what I interpret "its all hype" (sic) to mean.

CURL has been scanned with multiple LLMs. Mythos was last and as a result found only 1 issue. If Myhos was really much better I'd expect it to find a lot more issues despite the others already there.

Also, the competing models are getting better. Opus 4.5 was better than everyone else when it was new, but only a few months later and there are a lot of models that are better (not just the newer Opus models)

Curl had a prominent bug bounty programme, has 180k lines of prod code, and is mainly a client app/lib. I would look at other projects before making judgements about mythos on this one.

Don't you want to test mythos against state of the art projects? They are the best chance of making visible what mythos uniquely brings to the table.

We already know that mythos will be branded catnip for sub-SOTA projects. They could have build SOTA secure software development practices last week, last month or last year. But didn't care. What will their experience with mythos tell us other than AI hype can create corporate will to take security seriously?

Yes, I'm just saying don't make judgements based on this single project alone.

Is the CURL thing mostly from the primagen video, or did it break into the greater social media sphere and I just missed it?

The cURL lead developer posted about it: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2026/05/11/mythos-finds-a-curl-v...

The Reg reported it:

I've been following him on mastodon and read it right there

For example, It was recently let loose on cURL and its maintainer is less than impressed:

If you remove the fluff that the register added and stick with https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2026/05/11/mythos-finds-a-curl-v... it seems like a claim that's a claim fairly distant to "its all hype". Less than expected perhaps? Maybe the code really is unexpectedly robust? I guess time will tell on that point.

His direct quotes are:

> "My personal conclusion can however not end up with anything else than that the big hype around this model so far was primarily marketing."

> "I see no evidence that this setup finds issues to any particular higher or more advanced degree than the other tools have done before Mythos."

> "An amazingly successful marketing stunt for sure."

Personally I see this as a very strong claim of hype. I take away from this that Mythos is a hyped up marketing stunt, and not what it was preesented to be by Anthropic at all.
