Anthropic’s Mythos Dilemma, Violence Against AI, Tokenmaxxing at Meta

Anthropic's big new mythos model is here. Is it real or is it marketing? Violence breaks out against AI, and engineers at Meta and elsewhere are competing for who can burn the most tokens. That's coming up on a Big Technology Podcast Friday edition right after this. This episode is brought to you by Genesis.

What does it actually take to put Agentic AI to work across an entire enterprise? I recently spoke with Genesis chairman and CEO Tony Bates about why orchestration is emerging as a competitive advantage in customer experience and what companies need to get right in the AI era. Then, I sat down with Adam Mitchell, head of Enterprise Business Solutions at Voya Financial to go inside a large-scale Agentic CX transformation, including the business decisions, trade-offs, and lessons along the way. You can watch both conversations now on my YouTube channel today. Welcome to Big Technology Podcast Friday edition, where we break down the news in our traditional cool-headed and nuanced format.

Oh, we have a great show for you today. We're going to talk about whether Mythos, the new model from Anthropic, is real or marketing or maybe some combination of both. We're going to talk about this new surge of violence that's breaking out against AI and why we should probably be taken more seriously. We'll also talk about this. Now, infamous 1.8 billion one or two-person startup called Medvi.
