OpenMythos: 22‑Year‑Old Recreates Claude Mythos with Recurrent Depth Transformers
A 22‑year‑old developer reverse‑engineered Anthropic’s confidential Claude Mythos, releasing the OpenMythos project that employs a Recurrent Depth Transformer looping a single weight set up to 16 times, matching a 1.3 B‑parameter transformer’s performance with only 770 M parameters while enabling deeper inference and solving gradient instability.
