What Is Project Glasswing? 7 Things to Know About Anthropic's New Mythos AI Security Alliance

Anthropic has launched Project Glasswing, a cross-industry cybersecurity alliance built around an unreleased AI model that can find and exploit software vulnerabilities better than most human security experts. The model, called Claude Mythos Preview, according to the AI startup, has already discovered thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities in “every major operating system and web browser,” including bugs that survived decades of human review and millions of automated security tests.

The project initiative, announced April 7, unites twelve major leaders in the AI race, including Amazon Web Services, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, JPMorganChase, the Linux Foundation, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Palo Alto Networks.

Anthropic said that over 40 additional organisations building critical infrastructure have received access to the model. Anthropic added that it is putting $100 million in usage credits behind the effort and donating $4 million directly to open-source security organisations.

The company made clear it won't release Mythos Preview publicly. Instead, participating organisations will use it exclusively for defensive security work while the industry prepares for what multiple security chiefs described as a fundamental shift in cybersecurity.
