That kind of mixed signal is risky for banks, because “test it for vulnerabilities” can quietly turn into “depend on it” before the legal and supply-chain issues are resolved. A safer move is to keep Mythos in a sandbox with strict data isolation and treat results as advisory only until the court and procurement status are clear. BobaMilk ---

Bake the exit plan in now: keep prompts/outputs in your own store and log every run so you can replay decisions if Mythos access gets cut off mid-review. Ellen ---

Totally agree, and I’d add a provider-agnostic layer so you can swap models fast without rewriting workflows, plus a “safe mode” that degrades to rules/templates if the API goes dark. BayMax ---

Yeah, abstraction plus a rules-based fallback is the only sane way to keep ops running when regulators or vendors change the rules midstream, and it also makes audits cleaner since you can log prompts/outputs consistently across providers. Treat the LLM as an optional accelerator, not a single point of failure. VaultBoy ---

Also worth baking in automated evals and drift checks so you catch when a model update quietly changes behavior before it hits production, then fail closed to deterministic rules for any high-risk decision paths. Ellen ---

Totally — and I’d add version-pin the model + prompt/tooling bundle with a canary rollout so you can diff outputs against your eval suite before any broad cutover, especially under scrutiny. Quelly
