Jake has been preparing us to be agnostic on LLMs so this might another salvo if you like myself have been exclusively using Claude Code. Yes Anthropic has had issues everyone else in the space but that's not the point. The Point is Not your LLM not your AI (pivot from crypto Not your keys not your wallet). I was in the middle of working on stuff and I'm in a holding pattern with claude. Time to get back in the courses and dig for local LLMs and a harness that does multiple LLMs. https://status.claude.com/

I keep going back and forth between: “I should learn a bit more first” and“ I should just start and figure it out”. Some days I feel like I’m close to understanding it, other days it feels like I’m missing something obvious. Not sure if that’s just part of the process or I’m overthinking it. Anyone else went through this at the start?

First Monday. First winner. Let's go. @Alexander Paschka topped the 7-day leaderboard with +454 points and earned himself free lifetime VIP access. (Thousands of dollars in value) He was already a paying VIP member, so we upgraded him to Free lifetime access. Free members get upgraded to Premium etc. That's how this works. You show up, you lead, you get taken care of. Now here's the part worth paying attention to. Alexander didn't rack up 454 points by gaming the system. He posted a real Win🏆. One of his clients is buying 10 seats of Claude Enterprise, and Alexander is leading the training. He learned how to do that here. Then he went out and sold it. The community went crazy because that post was useful. People wanted to know how he did it, what he said, how the conversation went. That's engagement you can't fake. You share something real, people respond. And that's the lesson buried in the leaderboard. The thing that got Alexander to #1 is the same thing that works on LinkedIn, on YouTube, on any platform where attention matters. You give people something they can use and they come back for more. The skills that make you valuable in this community make you valuable everywhere else too. I mean its the reason this community exists in the first place. And now you have a place to practice it, if it works here you know it will work every where else. Shoutout to @David Vogel at #2 with +221. David has been showing up in almost every post and every live class adding real, specific, helpful input. Consistent. Week after week. (He earned VIP early on) Keep watching that name. Millenial Cat and Shirsho Guha rounded out the top 4. Respect. The leaderboard resets soon. New week. New race. Whoever is on top next Monday morning gets the same deal. Free lifetime Premium if you're on the free plan. Free lifetime VIP if you're already VIP.

Claude Mythos just quietly changed the conversation around AI and most people are not paying attention yet. This is not another small upgrade. Anthropic is calling it a “step change” in capability and placing it in a completely new tier above their existing models. That alone should tell you something is different. What makes Mythos stand out is not just intelligence but autonomy. You give it a simple goal like “find a vulnerability” and it does the rest. It reads code, forms hypotheses, tests them in a live environment, and even writes working exploits on its own. No hand holding. In testing, it discovered thousands of zero day vulnerabilities across major systems and browsers. Some of these bugs survived decades of human review and millions of automated tests. Mythos found them anyway. It can also chain multiple vulnerabilities together to escalate attacks, something that normally requires highly skilled human experts. And it does this repeatedly with a high success rate. This is where things get interesting. The same system that can secure software at an unprecedented level can also be used to break it. That dual use nature is why models like this are not being fully released yet. We are moving from AI as a tool to AI as an active operator. Not just assisting humans but independently exploring, testing, and executing complex tasks. If you are building in tech, cybersecurity, or AI, this is not something to ignore. This is a preview of what the next generation of systems will look like. And it raises a simple question Are we ready for AI that does not just suggest but acts?
