Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel called for Anthropic to grant broader access to its Mythos model, arguing that affected organizations need equal opportunity to evaluate the system's capabilities and risks.

Nagel's statement underscores growing pressure on AI developers to democratize access to powerful models for independent assessment. The Bundesbank president stressed that a level playing field is essential for organizations to properly evaluate Mythos's potential uses and safety implications. The demand reflects broader industry debates over model transparency and the concentration of AI testing capabilities among major tech companies. Without widespread access, critics argue, only well-resourced entities can conduct thorough risk evaluations and develop informed policy positions. Anthropus has not yet responded to Nagel's remarks. The company's approach to model access has drawn scrutiny from regulators and researchers worldwide, who cite the need for distributed assessment of advanced AI systems before deployment.
