I don’t think mythos can ingest an entire codebase into context. So it’s spinning off sub-agents to process chunks. Which supports their thesis: the harness is the moat. The tooling is whats important, the model is far far less important.

Mythos was clear it was one agent per chunk. But this positive confirming results do not actually disprove anytime with Mythos, because it is only one side of the discriminator challenge - you got positives, but we do not know your false positive rate and your false negative rate.

In TFA they talk a fair bit about how different models perform wrt false positives:

“The results show something close to inverse scaling: small, cheap models outperform large frontier ones.”
