Cisco says Anthropic's Mythos bug-finding model is driving rapid replacement of unsupported networking kit
↗
Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins says Anthropic's Mythos bug-finding model is prompting customers to urgently replace unsupported networking devices, contributing to what he calls a network spending supercycle.
The Mythos Effect means unsupported networking hardware that might have stayed in service is now treated as an unacceptable security risk. For engineers, this accelerates timelines for refreshing end-of-life infrastructure and may shift budget lines from networking to security.

Anthropic's Mythos bug-finding model is making unsupported networking devices too risky to operate because patches no longer flow for them.
Cisco reports its sales pipeline has increased meaningfully as customers rush to replace equipment past its last day of support.
Robbins identifies Mythos, quantum computing preparation, and AI as three factors driving a network spending supercycle.
