Anthropic launches Project Glasswing to secure critical software By Investing.com

Investing.com -- Anthropic announced Project Glasswing on Tuesday, a cybersecurity initiative bringing together major technology and financial companies to address vulnerabilities in critical software systems.

The project includes Amazon Web Services, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, JPMorganChase, the Linux Foundation, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Palo Alto Networks as launch partners.

The initiative centers on Claude Mythos Preview, an unreleased frontier AI model developed by Anthropic that demonstrates advanced capabilities in identifying and exploiting software vulnerabilities. According to Anthropic, the model can surpass most humans at finding security flaws and has already identified thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities across major operating systems and web browsers.

Under the project, launch partners will use Mythos Preview for defensive security purposes. Anthropic said it will share findings with the broader industry. The company has extended access to over 40 additional organizations that build or maintain critical software infrastructure, enabling them to scan and secure both proprietary and open-source systems.

Anthropic is allocating up to $100 million in usage credits for Mythos Preview across these efforts and providing $4 million in direct donations to open-source security organizations.

The company stated that the project addresses concerns about AI capabilities potentially spreading to actors who may not deploy them safely, warning of potential impacts on economies, public safety, and national security.
