This is confused, but popular. Popular because it tells a bunch of people what they want to hear. Confused for a couple reasons: first, Mythos probably isn’t a pure LLM. (Claude Code isn’t, and it probably uses some similar techniques). [Also critics such as myself never called LLMs a “scam”; rather we said that LLMs need to be supplemented with other techniques, and wouldn’t be enough on their own.] And on @EpochAIResearch’s important ECI benchmark it’s NOT hugely better than other models. It’s better at bug finding, but doesn’t mean it’s solved hallucinations, boneheaded reasoning errors etc.
