EXCLUSIVE: QUBT CEO Says Anthropic's Mythos 'Doesn't Reveal Anything New' — But It Should Make Everyone Move Faster On Quantum Security

• In an interview with Stocktwits, QUBT chairman and CEO Yuping Huang said Anthropic’s Claude Mythos did not reveal “anything new” but should be a push to address quantum threats faster.
• According to him, the broader industry needs to come together in order to increase adoption and bring quantum technology to real world applications. 
• He said QUBT expects accelerated adoption of its products and stronger revenue performance starting in 2026.

Quantum Computing Inc. (QUBT) Chairman and chief executive Yuping Huang told Stocktwits that the extent of vulnerabilities found by Anthropic’s Claude Mythos isn’t a surprise, but should spark “urgency” for the ecosystem to adopt quantum communication technology at a larger scale very soon.

"I don't think it revealed anything new,” Huang told Michele Steele in an exclusive interview with Stocktwits. “We all know there are fundamental security issues with current encryption methods, especially under the attack of quantum computers.”

QUBT’s stock rose over 18% in midday trade on Wednesday, on track to close at an over two-month high in a four-day rally. Retail sentiment around the company on Stocktwits jumped to ‘extremely bullish’ from ‘neutral’ over the past day, chatter rose to ‘extremely high’ from ‘high’ levels. Platform data showed a 321% increase in message volume in the last 24 hours.

“I think over the past few years, we have certainly seen wonderful progress, but there is still a gap between the technology and wide adoption.”

‘Urgent’ To Build A Larger Quantum Ecosystem

Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview said it found thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities in every major operating system and web browser. The Amazon (AMZN)-backed startup was so worried about the damage Mythos could cause that it refused to release it publicly until there are safeguards to control its most dangerous capabilities. Coinbase (COIN) and Binance (BNB) are reportedly in talks with Anthropic to prepare for Mythos’ launch.

According to Huang, Anthropic’s Mythos is a reminder that the existing ecosystem isn’t really that secure and an opportunity to build a “larger ecosystem” that goes beyond quantum computing companies. He said that partnerships across different sectors would allow for real world quantum-based network security technology applications.

“I believe that this offers us an opportunity to rethink what the timeline for wide adoption should be and what we should do now in order to address these critical challenges before they become huge problems that none of us can solve,” Huang stated. “I do feel the urgency that we need to start to adopt quantum communication technology at a larger scale very soon." 

QUBT Sees Faster Roadmap Execution

Huang said recent acquisitions, including Luminar Semiconductor and NuCrypt, have strengthened the company’s ability to execute on its roadmap.

While the overall strategy remains unchanged, he said the added capabilities could accelerate timelines. Huang expects increased adoption of the company’s quantum products and stronger revenue performance beginning in 2026, alongside the launch of new offerings.

“We will also see a few opportunities that we could not have pursued, now become a reality,” he told Stocktwits. “So I hope that we can have a couple of new products to come out at the end of 2026. It's going to be very interesting.”

Consensus estimates on Koyfin show the average price target on QUBT’s stock stands at $17.40, which represents a potential upside of 80% from current levels. Out of the five analysts covering the stock, three gave it a rating of ‘Buy’ while the other two recommended ‘Hold’. The shares have fallen over 8% year-to-date but gained nearly 40% in the last 12 months.
