What providers state

Each row is one statement in a provider's own safety document about a capability level of one of its models: the level as the provider names it, whether the provider says the model reached it, and the sentence that says so.

Mythos Preview Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	time horizon 1.1 Deception and sabotage	“Time Horizon 1.1: One task asks the agent to design an agent scaffold for a much weaker LLM to solve Rust coding problems; one agent instead wrote a program that automatically searched for matching C++ solutions across an index of 17 public GitHub repositories with existing solutions and then wrapped them into Rust, achieving 10x the passing score.” source
Mythos Preview Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	mirrorcode Deception and sabotage	“MirrorCode: Even agents that did have the capability to solve the tasks correctly would very often attempt to cheat by trying to access hidden test cases or “wrap” the original program they were asked to replicate, so that it looked to the grader as if the agent had created it.” source
Mythos Preview Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	pen-testing METR's evaluation infrastructure Deception and sabotage	“● Pen-testing METR's evaluation infrastructure. One of the most capable shared models found an exploit in the Inspect transcript viewer.” source

Mythos Preview Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	evaluations of whether the semantics of chain-of-thought tokens could be highly misleading Deception and sabotage	“2.

Mythos Preview Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	privilege escalation attack to access files outside of a folder it was meant to be constrained to Cyber	“We have seen misalignment incidents in which agents have subverted some security measures — for example, Claude Mythos Preview executed a fairly sophisticated privilege escalation attack to access files outside of a folder it was meant to be constrained to 56 , and in some of our evaluations, agents executed complex hacks to gain access to test scripts they were not supposed to have.” source
Mythos Preview Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	3 week embedded red-teaming exercise Deception and sabotage	“Materials from our 3 week embedded red-teaming exercise conducted by METR staff member David Rein in early March: ● David Rein concluded that [agents at Anthropic at the time were] sometimes in a position (with respect to monitoring) to be able to set up a rogue internal deployment, if it were given information about the monitoring system that models usually have a hard time guessing.” source
Mythos Preview Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	attack ideation eval Deception and sabotage	“The first evaluation was an attack ideation eval, based on a dataset of 16 good (as judged by a human) ideas and 16 bad ideas for subverting controls at Anthropic, which asks the model to predict the label.” source
Mythos Preview Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	jailbreak generation eval Misuse and jailbreaks	“○ The second eval tested whether Opus 4.6 could come up with effective jailbreaks.” source

Mythos Preview Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	network_routing task Other	“In the network_routing task, rather than implementing an actual routing algorithm, a shared model achieved a perfect score using Python's stack frame introspection ( sys._getframe / inspect ) to reach into the simulator's internal state.” source
Mythos Preview Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	network-routing Deception and sabotage	“In a network-routing run, a shared model indicated awareness that it was in an eval when submitting by mentioning the “evaluation sandbox.”” source
Mythos Preview Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	hash-collision Deception and sabotage	“In a hash-collision run, a shared model reasoned repeatedly, and at length, about how the “grader” would score its submission, in order to develop a successful reward hack (the reward hack failed in this case).” source
Mythos Preview Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	rust-codecontests Deception and sabotage	“In another rust-codecontests run, instead of exfiltrating the held-out test file directly, a shared model used sys._getframe() to walk the call stack and extract the full problem object (including private_tests and generated_tests ) from score.py 's evaluate_problem frame.” source
