Anthropic has released its August 2026 Risk Report, detailing internal AI models and potential risks. The report highlights two internal models: Model 1, similar to Mythos Preview and Mythos 5, and Model 2, which is more capable than Mythos 5 but not a significant jump from Claude Opus 4.6. Model 2 is intended for internal use only, with potential reasons for this decision including specialization, danger, or a desire to slow down AI development. The report also addresses risks related to autonomy, automated AI R&D, and biological/chemical weapons production. AI
