I can't see that. Yes, the press is hyping Mythos in a complete brainless way, without understanding what the Mythos paper says.
But just following the statements made by Anthropic that is a clear and factual representation.
I actually recommend that people read the paper itself. And not just die cherry picked parts of the press.
Also, I have seen 3 reported 0days found by Mythos in projects I (or my employer) contributes.
That is not hype, those found issues are fact.
