Anthropic Offers EU Access to Mythos Model
Anthropic has agreed to share access to its most advanced AI model, Mythos, with the European Union after several weeks of talks driven by EU cybersecurity concerns. The European Commission held multiple productive meetings with Anthropic to evaluate risks posed by the model, which Anthropic initially rolled out in April under Project Glasswing for cybersecurity use cases and is capable of uncovering large numbers of software vulnerabilities. Anthropic told the Commission it required U.S. government permission to grant access, prompting recent EU discussions with U.S. authorities. The development follows the EU gaining access to OpenAI’s GPT-5.5-Cyber model in May and comes amid broader U.S. agreements to let the government assess advanced AI models from major vendors.
Access arrangements for a powerful foundation model between a major AI developer and the EU — and the involvement of the U.S. administration — affect cross-border AI governance, cybersecurity risk assessment, and government oversight, with implications for AI policy and enterprise access to advanced models.

EU to Intensify Talks with U.S. Over Advanced Cyber AI Models
The European Commission is seeking to intensify discussions with the U.S. administration about the most advanced AI models, specifically those with cyber capabilities, a Commission spokesperson told CNBC. Concern has grown after Anthropic’s Mythos model — announced in April — demonstrated advanced cyber abilities and was released in a limited preview called Project Glasswing. Anthropic has not given preview access to the EU or most non-U.S. governments (aside from the U.K.’s AI Security Institute). The White House says it is working closely with AI labs to balance innovation and safety while preserving U.S. leadership in AI. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned of a 6–12 month window to patch vulnerabilities surfaced by Mythos.
OpenAI Grants EU Access to GPT-5.5-Cyber
OpenAI said on May 11, 2026 that it will grant European partners — including businesses, governments, cyber authorities and EU institutions — access to GPT-5.5-Cyber, a variant of its latest AI model. The company began a limited preview of the cyber model for vetted cybersecurity teams last week. The European Commission confirmed an exchange with OpenAI and said further discussions are planned to allow close oversight of the model’s deployment. Anthropic, which released its Mythos model a month earlier, has not yet provided the EU preview access; the Commission said talks with Anthropic are at a different stage. OpenAI described the move as part of an "OpenAI EU Cyber Action Plan" to broaden access to defensive tools and work with European policymakers and institutions.
Anthropic Releases Mythos AI Model with Restrictions
This Morning Squawk edition covers several market-moving items: the U.S. completed self‑defense strikes on Iran, prompting President Donald Trump to warn Tehran and contributing to oil-price and futures volatility. SpaceX’s IPO is being run with a fixed take‑it‑or‑leave‑it price and an unusually large 30% retail allocation; the company was taking orders ahead of a planned Friday debut. Anthropic broadened availability of its Mythos‑era capability by releasing Claude Fable 5 — a public-facing model with added safeguards that routes or blocks high‑risk cybersecurity and biology queries — following an earlier dual-product, permissioned Mythos rollout. Prediction‑market platform Kalshi announced tighter measures to limit insider trading, including market risk scores, employment verification for some traders, and an enhanced whistleblower feature; Kalshi also reported crossing $1 billion in perpetual‑futures volume within a week of launch.
