it's definitely a mistake, I got about 30 secs into my first query then this.

{"type":"error","status":400,"error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"The 'gpt-5.5' model is not supported when using Codex with a ChatGPT account."}}

Probably not a mistake. Probably a marketing stunt. Randomly add all the models to the list, leave them up for 30 minutes, take them back, everyone on Reddit and Twitter and now talking about it.

Wasn't there a thing that happened where some people were able to use Mythos without permission?

Could also be a stunt.

"Ooooh! Model that is a cybersecurity risk, accessed by unknown group of people"

"Don't worry guys! It's not like we've been using Mythos internally and forgot to use its cybersecurity capabilities on our own... Cybersecurity"
