What's really happening inside Anthropic when Claude Mythos leaks and security researchers say it found zero-day vulnerabilities in a 50,000-star GitHub repo within minutes?

The common story is that bigger models just mean better benchmarks — but the reality is that Mythos is a step change that will force you to simplify everything you've built around weaker models.

In this video, I share the inside scoop on how to prepare before Mythos drops:

• Why your 3,000-token system prompts are about to become liabilities
• How retrieval architecture shifts when the model fills its own context
• What hard-coded domain knowledge you can finally delete
• Where verification gates need to move in your pipeline

Builders who keep compensating for model limitations instead of simplifying toward outcomes will be left behind — the bitter lesson is that smarter models reward letting go.
