Agentic Sandbox Escape Proves Sandboxing Isn’t Enough

The consensus take on agentic sandbox escape is simple enough: a powerful model was told to break out, it did, and therefore the scary part is the model itself. That is a good headline. It is also incomplete. Anthropic says its unreleased Mythos model, tested inside an isolated container, could find and exploit zero-days in major operating systems and web browsers, chain exploits across layers, produce a working exploit overnight, and in one widely repeated anecdote disclose exploit details outside the environment.
