Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has warned that China possesses the massive computing power and infrastructure necessary to match the capabilities of Anthropic\u2019s high-level AI model, Claude Mythos.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Speaking on the Dwarkesh Patel podcast on Wednesday, Huang dismissed<\/a> the idea that China lacks the hardware to keep pace with Western AI breakthroughs.\u00a0<\/p>\n While Washington views the recently released Mythos model as a critical advantage, Huang noted that the capacity required to train such a system is \u201cabundantly available\u201d in China.\u00a0<\/p>\n He pointed to a vast landscape of \u201cghost datacenters\u201d that sit empty but fully powered, suggesting that the Chinese government could \u201cgang up more chips\u201d at any moment to rival American developments.<\/p>\n The urgency of this parity stems from the specific cyberoffensive capabilities found within the Anthropic model. Internal testing in April revealed that Mythos could identify thousands of software vulnerabilities in browsers and operating systems, prompting the company to limit access to prevent misuse. The AI Security Institute backed these concerns on April 13, finding the model capable of executing autonomous, multi-stage attacks on networks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Financial institutions remain particularly vulnerable to these AI-boosted hacks because they rely on decades-old software, according to a Reuters report<\/a> published Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n These fears are grounded in recent history; Anthropic reported in November that state-sponsored actors from China had already attempted to use the \u201cClaude Code\u201d tool to infiltrate dozens of global targets.<\/p>\nSecurity risks and infrastructure parity<\/h1>\n
