Anthropic’s latest AI model could let hackers carry out attacks faster than ever. It wants companies to put up defenses first

  • On Tuesday, Anthropic announced Claude Mythos Preview, an advanced AI model rolling out to select companies through a new cybersecurity initiative called Project Glasswing, with access limited to prevent adversaries from exploiting its vulnerability-detection capabilities.
  • Developed to leverage strong coding and reasoning skills rather than specialized cybersecurity training, the model aims to secure critical software infrastructure by identifying flaws before public release.
  • Launch partners including Apple, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon Web Services, CrowdStrike, and Palo Alto Networks will use the model for defensive work; Anthropic claims it has already found thousands of previously unknown vulnerabilities, including a 27-year-old bug in OpenBSD.
  • Security experts warn the model creates a next-generation cat-and-mouse game where tools aiding defenders can also fuel sophisticated attacks; Anthropic does not plan general release, citing risks from cybercriminals and spies.
  • Anthropic has engaged in ongoing discussions with U.S. government officials about the model's cyber capabilities while working toward safely deploying Mythos-class models at scale for cybersecurity and broader beneficial applications.
