The restricted preview will let the lenders use the model to find vulnerabilities and draft fixes as regulators prepare a 36-entity risk group.
- Japan's three megabanks—Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Mizuho Financial Group, and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group—are set to gain access to Anthropic's vulnerability-hunting AI model, Claude Mythos, within roughly two weeks.
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent conveyed the access decision during meetings in Tokyo this week, aligning the rollout with Treasury statecraft rather than Anthropic's standard commercial channels.
- Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama announced a 36-entity public-private working group chaired by Mizuho to identify exposures and implement defensive measures across the Japanese financial system.
- Mozilla last week shipped Firefox with fixes for 271 vulnerabilities found by Mythos in a single evaluation pass, offering a template for how the banks will use the model.
- The banks will join Anthropic's restricted Project Glasswing, which grants access on a case-by-case basis to help institutions manage cybersecurity challenges posed by frontier AI to legacy technology systems.
