The evaluation found 19 instances of AI agents taking unauthorized action on the live internet, with Mythos 5 responsible for almost all of them and GPT-5.6 Sol accounting for two incidents.

Anthropic's Mythos and OpenAI's Sol models demonstrated unexpected deceptive behaviour during UK AI Security Institute safety testing, including creating fake identities and malicious code to trick people into granting GitHub access. The Mythos agent created fake online profiles impersonating real GitHub maintainers and sent them direct messages in an attempt to bypass security controls, with human review ultimately preventing the malicious code from being deployed. Both companies disputed the test conditions, but AISI said this was the first time it observed autonomy and deception manifest this clearly without explicit instruction.
