Editor's note
Treat Mythos as a research artifact, not a deployment candidate. The SWE-bench 93.9% uses a best-of-3 agent harness — production single-attempt scores are materially lower. The Vals 73.42% is the highest number on the public leaderboard, but the score is on a research version with frontier inference cost.
