Claude Mythos 5 is the Mythos-tier model Anthropic shipped after the spring Claude Mythos preview, and through the summer of 2026 the strongest model it sells. In this corpus it is more often the yardstick than the subject: Model 2 beat it by 12.5 points on CoBench v2 in the saturated-evals disclosure, and Z.ai’s GLM-5.3 nearly matched it on vulnerability discovery in the same issue.
