Mythos Preview has become the first AI model to complete both of the AI Security Institute's cyber ranges, which evaluate AI cyberattack capabilities. GPT-5.5 completed only one.

The AI Security Institute's cyber ranges measure the length and complexity of cyberattack tasks that AI models can execute. Mythos Preview's dual completion marks a significant milestone in AI capability assessment. According to AISI, the capability gap has widened substantially. As of February 2026, the organization estimated that the length of cyber tasks AI models could complete has doubled every 4.7 months since late 2024. The benchmark results underscore accelerating progress in AI model capabilities related to cybersecurity functions. The findings raise questions about how AI safety testing keeps pace with rapid advancement. AISI's cyber ranges serve as one of several measures to track potential risks associated with increasingly capable AI systems.
