Anthropic announces 'Project Glasswing' in alliance with tech giants to strengthen global cybersecurity
New Delhi [India], April 8 (ANI): Anthropic announced Project Glasswing, a new initiative that brings together Amazon Web Services, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, JPMorganChase, the Linux Foundation, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Palo Alto Networks in an effort to 'secure the world's most critical software.' The collaborative effort comes as AI models reach a level of coding capability that allows them to find and exploit software vulnerabilities more effectively than most humans. According to a statement by Anthropic, the project was formed because of capabilities observed in Claude Mythos Preview, a general-purpose, unreleased frontier model. According to the company, this model has already identified thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities in major operating systems and web browsers. 'AI capabilities have crossed a threshold that fundamentally changes the urgency required to protect critical infrastructure from cyber threats, and there is no going back. Our foundational work with these models has shown we can identify and fix security vulnerabilities across hardware and software at a pace and scale previously impossible. That is a profound shift, and a clear signal that the old ways of hardening systems are no longer sufficient,' said Anthony Grieco, SVP, & Chief Security & Trust Officer at Cisco. Anthropic committed up to USD 100 million in usage credits for the Mythos Preview model to support the project and 40 additional organisations. The statement noted that the 'current global financial cost of cybercrime is estimated at roughly USD 500 billion annually.' The project aimed to use AI for defensive purposes like local vulnerability detection and penetration testing, before these capabilities proliferate to unsafe actors. 'At AWS, we build defences before threats emerge, from our custom silicon up through the technology stack. Security isn't a phase for us; it's continuous and embedded in everything we do. We've been testing Claude Mythos Preview in our own security operations, applying it to critical codebases, where it's already helping us strengthen our code,' said Amy Herzog, Vice President and CISO at Amazon Web Services. As part of the initiative, Anthropic donated USD 2.5 million to Alpha-Omega and OpenSSF and USD 1.5 million to the Apache Software Foundation. The company also engaged in ongoing discussions with US government officials regarding the model's offensive and defensive capabilities. 'As we enter a phase where cybersecurity is no longer bound by purely human capacity, the opportunity to use AI responsibly to improve security and reduce risk at scale is unprecedented. Joining Project Glasswing, with access to Claude Mythos Preview, allows us to identify and mitigate risk early and augment our security and development solutions so we can better protect customers and Microsoft,' said Igor Tsyganskiy, EVP of Cybersecurity and Microsoft Research at Microsoft. Anthropic planned to report publicly on the vulnerabilities fixed and improvements made within 90 days. Following the research preview, the model will be available to participants at rates of USD 25 per million input tokens and USD 125 per million output tokens. 'Google is pleased to see this cross-industry cybersecurity initiative coming together and to make Mythos Preview available to participants via Vertex AI. It's always been critical that the industry work together on emerging security issues, whether it's post-quantum cryptography, responsible zero-day disclosure, secure open source software, or defense against AI-based attacks,' said Heather Adkins, VP of Security Engineering at Google.

The goal is to deploy advanced that can detect and fix software vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them.
2 Reasons I Wouldn't Buy the SpaceX IPO With Free Money
SpaceX is getting ready to go public, and it could be the biggest IPO in history. After the company filed confidentially to go public last week, Bloomberg reported that it's seeking a valuation of up to $2 trillion, though CEO Elon Musk has pushed back on that report. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue " SpaceX was valued at $1.25 trillion, based on estimates from the board of directors and investment bankers, in February when it combined with xAI, Elon Musk's AI company that owns the X social media site and the chatbot Grok. Based on that number, $2 trillion would clearly be a big step up from that, but it could also be achievable, as SpaceX is a unique company. It dominates the market for commercial orbital space launches, thanks to its reusable rockets like Falcon 9, and its Starlink unit is also the world's largest satellite operator, leading the satellite-based broadband market with more than 9 million customers. However, while there's likely to be strong demand for the SpaceX IPO, I'm content to sit on the sidelines while it plays out. Here are two reasons why. Image source: Getty Images. SpaceX hasn't yet filed its S-1 prospectus, so we don't have the full financial picture of the company, but there are some basic numbers circulating. In 2025, the company brought in $15 billion-$16 billion in revenue, according to Reuters, up from $13.1 billion in 2024, and it generated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of around $8 billion. Based on the $2 trillion valuation that the company is reportedly seeking, it would have a price-to-sales valuation of approximately 130, which is higher than any S&P 500 stock, and more than three times higher than any S&P 500 stock except for Palantir. At a valuation like that, there are already sky-high expectations priced into the stock, and at $2 trillion, the upside potential is limited as well. Nvidia, by comparison, is worth just around $4.3 trillion and is the most valuable company in the world. SpaceX, at the valuation it's targeting, would be at the same echelon as the "Magnificent Seven" companies that dominate their industries and have much more revenue and profit than SpaceX. That seems hard to justify, and it means that the stock could easily plunge if it disappoints the market or sentiment changes. There's no question that Musk has been a visionary and brilliant business leader at companies like Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), SpaceX, and others, and his companies have earned a "Musk premium," or a higher valuation for his ability to sell his vision of the future, which, for SpaceX includes sending data centers into space and eventually putting a man on Mars. However, Musk also carries a number of risk factors with him, not just keyman risk. He has a tendency to overpromise innovations and then move investor attention elsewhere when those promises are delayed or unfulfilled. He's done this several times at Tesla. In 2021, he said that the company's vehicle sales volume would grow at a compound annual rate of 50% for several years, though Tesla only achieved two years of that growth rate, and vehicle sales have now declined for the last two years. When asked about weakness in EV sales, Musk tends to deflect to Tesla's future ambitions like robotaxis or its Optimus autonomous robot, and make some other promise about the future. That strategy has been successful at pumping the stock as Tesla is worth nearly $1.5 trillion and is much more expensive than any of its Magnificent Seven peers. SpaceX seems likely to follow a similar playbook, as Bloomberg reported that the IPO pitch will be based on Musk's ability to sell his vision for what the company could be, which is likely to include space travel, orbital data centers, and other bold, but possibly unworkable, ideas. Musk certainly has his fan base, and those investors are likely to be attracted to the SpaceX IPO. However, at this point, he's too untrustworthy for me, and it doesn't help that he's become a political lightning rod. Even if I had free money, I still wouldn't invest it in SpaceX. Free money is still money, after all, and there are plenty of things I'd rather spend it on than a hot stock debut that looks primed to burn investors.

Anthropic's Claude Mythos AI has discovered thousands of vulnerabilities in every OS and browser
Anthropic's unreleased Claude Mythos is described as a "general-purpose, unreleased frontier model," but its coding capabilities are so powerful that it poses a real and unprecedented cybersecurity threat. According to the AI company, the Mythos Preview has already "found thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities" in every major operating system and web browser. Its coding capabilities are so strong that, apparently, only the "most skilled humans" could beat it at finding and exploiting these vulnerabilities. "Given the rate of AI progress, it will not be long before such capabilities proliferate, potentially beyond actors who are committed to deploying them safely," Anthropic explains. "The fallout - for economies, public safety, and national security - could be severe." And with that, Claude Mythos won't be getting a public release anytime soon, but it's currently being deployed as part of the new Project Glasswing initiative designed to "secure the world's most critical software." This means Anthropic's partners at Amazon Web Services, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, JPMorgan Chase, the Linux Foundation, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Palo Alto Networks will "use Mythos Preview as part of their defensive security work." The company adds that it will eventually share its findings with the wider security industry and is already opening up access to additional organizations that build or maintain "critical software infrastructure." To highlight the urgency and seriousness of the situation and the real threat posed by AI models and AI-powered hackers, Anthropic has confirmed that Mythos Preview has identified a 27-year-old vulnerability in OpenBSD, a 16-year-old vulnerability in FFmpeg, and several vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel. The good news is that the company has reported these vulnerabilities, and they've been patched. However, when you're talking about thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities, it underscores the importance of responsible, safe AI deployment and the potential need for regulation. That said, it's good to see Anthropic using its AI powers for good, so to speak. "The dangers of getting this wrong are obvious," Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said in a post on X. "But if we get it right, there is a real opportunity to create a fundamentally more secure internet and world than we had before the advent of AI-powered cyber capabilities."
'Driving test chaos is holding Redditch back and people have had enough'
Young people ready to start work, parents trying to get back into employment and apprentices who can't travel. All trapped refreshing a website where slots vanish in seconds. This isn't just an inconvenience. In a town like ours, a driving licence isn't a luxury - it's a lifeline. It's the difference between getting a job or missing out, between independence and being left behind. That's why I took your concerns straight to the top, meeting Beverley Warmington, the new Chief Executive of the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency. I made it crystal clear: this system is failing ordinary people in places like Redditch. To her credit, she acknowledged the scale of the problem. Last year, 1.9 million tests were completed and 400 new examiners recruited. Those are steps in the right direction but they don't reflect the reality people here are facing every day. Because behind the headline numbers is a system being gamed. I was told about bot attacks snapping up test slots instantly and individuals bulk-buying appointments only to resell them at inflated prices. Meanwhile, hardworking residents are left with nothing. DVSA CEO Beverley Warmington and MP Chris Bloore (Image: Chris Bloore) And then there's the real kicker: theory tests expiring before people can even book a practical. Imagine doing everything right - studying, passing, preparing - only to be blocked by a broken system. People here don't expect special treatment but they do expect a fair shot and right now, they're not getting it. The DVSA says changes are coming to clamp down on bots and improve access. Good. But warm words won't get people behind the wheel. We need more test slots, faster booking and a system that works for genuine learners - not scammers. I'll keep pushing until we see real change because for many in our town, this isn't just about driving. It's about opportunity and that opportunity is being denied.
OpenAI, Google, And Anthropic Are In A Race Nobody Can Win -- Or Afford To Lose | ABC Money
The AI industry is currently experiencing a unique tension that is almost like panic. All three of the businesses that the majority of people believe will define the future of artificial intelligence are burning capital at rates that would sink practically any other industry. Massive sums of money are moving, and leadership teams are changing. The odd thing is that everyone seems to be aware of this. Nevertheless, spending continues to rise. Through 2028, OpenAI anticipates cumulative operating losses of $74 billion. The $200 monthly ChatGPT Pro subscription loses money on its most frequent users, as Sam Altman has freely admitted. This means that the product at the core of OpenAI's consumer strategy is a liability at scale. With Sequoia Capital joining despite already owning shares in OpenAI and xAI, Anthropic is on its way to a $350 billion valuation following a $10 billion funding round. This is a subtle indication that even Silicon Valley's most disciplined venture capital is hedging its bets rather than picking a winner. Even with all of its advantages in terms of infrastructure and search power, Google is still struggling to be relevant in a field that it arguably ought to have dominated from the beginning. Even for those who appear most uncomfortable with the competitive logic, it is nearly impossible to avoid it, which is what makes this race so peculiar. The CEO of Anthropic, Dario Amodei, has used language that sounds more like a public health alert than a product roadmap when discussing AI development. It's clear from watching him in interviews that he genuinely thinks the thing he's building could be dangerous, but he's still going ahead with it, in part because it makes sense that if someone is going to build something, it should be someone who is concerned about the danger. It doesn't sound like a comfortable position to be in. However, the financial picture is clearer than the philosophical one. After overtaking OpenAI's prior dominance in just eighteen months, Anthropic now holds about thirty-two percent of the enterprise LLM API market. Business clients account for 80% of Anthropic's revenue, which is a structural advantage when attempting to create a business that can withstand the associated computing costs. The math is beginning to show that consumer AI is a more difficult place to make money when inference costs stay the same, and OpenAI's revenue split still heavily favors consumers. Claude is available to Azure users thanks to a $500 million investment from Microsoft. It's not a minor detail that OpenAI's main distribution partner is hedging with its main rival at the same time. It is more difficult to read Google's stance. DeepMind's research depth, Google Cloud's infrastructure scale, and integration routes through Search and Android that no startup could match gave the company real early advantages. However, Google was forced to take a defensive stance due to the AI moment because they were concerned about how a chatbot might affect search revenue, which took time. There is a sense that Google has been catching up to a story it should have written, even though Gemini is now competitive and the Pixel and Android integrations are genuine. That might change. Google has previously survived threats from competitors. However, the time when it felt safe to be the obvious default in AI has obviously passed. What the competitive game demands of all three is the deeper issue. Concentration is attracted by the physics of frontier AI training: larger data centers, more specialized chips, and exclusive energy agreements. That can only be funded by a small number of organizations. The political and regulatory landscape pulls in the exact opposite direction, requiring localization, value alignment, and constraints that are difficult to reconcile with the fast-paced logic of catching rivals. OpenAI is attempting to influence regulations in its favor while competing on capability. Anthropic is competing commercially while maintaining a safety-first stance, which is a very challenging needle to thread. Google is attempting to avoid cannibalizing the biggest user relationship in tech history. It's difficult to ignore the fact that all three businesses are acting in this manner out of fear of what might happen if they slow down while someone else doesn't, rather than because they are certain it's the best course of action. That is not a business plan, but the structure of a prisoner's dilemma. Everyone benefits from the logical cooperative result, which is slower, more coordinated development with shared safety research. However, since each player gains from moving more quickly than the others, everyone moves quickly, which worsens the overall result. Engineers can model this pattern, and economists can identify it. That doesn't make stopping any simpler. It's still genuinely unclear what will happen in the end. One of these businesses might emerge with a long-lasting technical advantage. In an AI economy where the true value is realized downstream, all three might wind up serving as infrastructure providers. It's possible that in hindsight, the entire contest will resemble the internet browser wars, which were costly, intense, and ultimately less decisive than they appeared to be at the time. No one is aware. And that's what makes the entire situation so difficult to ignore, more than the billions being spent.
Anthropic launches Project Glasswing to test advanced AI for cybersecurity
AI startup Anthropic has introduced Project Glasswing, a cybersecurity initiative that brings together major technology firms and critical infrastructure organisations to test an advanced, unreleased AI model designed to identify and help address software vulnerabilities at scale. At the centre of the project is a frontier AI system with strong coding and reasoning capabilities, which the company claims can analyse high-risk flaws in operating systems, web browsers and widely used software. Early testing has reportedly uncovered numerous serious vulnerabilities, including some that had gone undetected for years. Unlike typical AI releases, the model - referred to by partners as Claude Mythos Preview - will not be made publicly available due to concerns over potential misuse. Instead, access is limited to a closed group of collaborators across the tech and security ecosystem. Microsoft, one of the participants, said the initiative marks a shift in how cybersecurity is approached at scale. "As we enter a phase where cybersecurity is no longer bound by purely human capacity, the opportunity to use AI responsibly to improve security and reduce risk at scale is unprecedented," said Igor Tsyganskiy, Global CISO and EVP of Security and Microsoft Research at Microsoft. "Joining Project Glasswing... allows us to identify and mitigate risk early... When tested against CTI-REALM, our open-source security benchmark, Claude Mythos Preview showed substantial improvements compared to previous models." Also Read | Anthropic's Claude can now use your computer like a human: Will it replace OpenClaw? Amazon Web Services said it has already begun applying the model in its internal systems. "At AWS, we build defenses before threats emerge... AI is central to our ability to defend at scale," said Amy Herzog, Vice President and CISO at Amazon Web Services. "We've been testing Claude Mythos Preview in our own security operations... where it's already helping us strengthen our code." Story continues below this ad On the other hand, Google emphasised the importance of industry-wide collaboration in tackling emerging threats."Google is pleased to see this cross-industry cybersecurity initiative coming together... It's always been critical that the industry work together on emerging security issues," said Heather Adkins, VP of Security Engineering at Google. "We have long believed that AI poses new challenges and opens new opportunities in cyber defense." Anthropic said the goal of Project Glasswing is to strengthen defensive cybersecurity capabilities in the face of increasingly sophisticated AI-driven threats. The model can identify vulnerabilities and, in some cases, assist in understanding how they could be exploited. This demonstrates its defensive benefits and potential risks. The initiative is also positioned as a way to improve security in open-source software, which underpins much of today's digital infrastructure but often lacks dedicated resources. By providing access to advanced AI tools, Anthropic aims to help maintainers proactively detect and patch vulnerabilities.

The launch comes amid growing concern over the rise of AI-powered cyberattacks, with experts warning that increasingly capable models could accelerate both vulnerability discovery and exploitation. Anthropic argues Project Glasswing is an early effort to ensure such capabilities are deployed responsibly and primarily for defensive purposes.
Anthropic lets select firms test its most powerful cybersecurity model, Mythos AI
Anthropic on Tuesday unveiled a preview of its new frontier model, Mythos, but with a catch. The company is not releasing it publicly. Instead, it is placing the model in the hands of a small group of partner organisations to test its capabilities in securing software systems. The rollout is part of a new initiative called Project Glasswing, under which a limited set of partners will use the model for defensive cybersecurity work. Anthropic described Mythos as one of its most powerful systems so far, designed with strong coding and reasoning capabilities. Project Glasswing and partner access As part of Project Glasswing, 12 partner organisations, including Amazon, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, the Linux Foundation, Microsoft and Palo Alto Networks, are working with the model to detect and fix vulnerabilities in critical software infrastructure. These partners are expected to share their findings with the broader industry. Anthropic has also extended access to more than 40 additional organisations that maintain or build critical systems. These groups will use the model to scan both proprietary and open-source software for weaknesses. Vulnerability detection and capabilities According to the company, Mythos has already identified thousands of vulnerabilities, including many high-severity and zero-day flaws. Several of these issues date back one to two decades, with some even older. One of the oldest vulnerabilities detected was a 27-year-old flaw in widely used systems. Anthropic said recent advances in AI have enabled models to match or exceed highly skilled humans in identifying and exploiting software weaknesses. The company noted that such capabilities could pose risks if misused, making controlled deployment critical. Limited release and safety concerns The company clarified that Mythos will not be made available to the general public at this stage. Instead, the focus remains on developing safeguards that can prevent misuse while allowing organisations to deploy similar systems safely at scale in the future. Anthropic said it has been in discussions with US government officials regarding the model's capabilities, even as it remains involved in a legal dispute after being labelled a supply-chain risk over disagreements on AI safety practices. Background and leak Details of Mythos surfaced earlier through a data leak, which the company attributed to human error. The leaked material described the model as significantly more capable than its previous systems, particularly in areas such as coding, reasoning and cybersecurity. Anthropic also reported a separate incident where internal code was unintentionally exposed, leading to disruptions on code-hosting platforms during cleanup efforts.

Anthropic launches Project Glasswing: New AI model aims to stop cyberattacks before they happen
Anthropic launched a new project to tackle the rising threat of AI-driven cyberattacks. The initiative is called 'Project Glasswing', bringing together some of the world's biggest technology companies. Some of the biggest tech giants include Amazon Web Services, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Linux Foundation. The main goal behind this project is to use advanced AI tools to protect critical software before attackers can exploit vulnerabilities. Also Read: Claude can control your computer for browsing, editing, more: Here's how it works Anthropic Using Claude Mythos in Project Glasswing At the center of 'Project Glasswing' is an unreleased and new AI model known as 'Claude Mythos Preview.' According to Anthropic, this new model can identify and exploit software vulnerabilities. It is faster than all but the most skilled humans. Besides being fast, it has already discovered thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities in major operating systems and web browsers. Its achievement showcases both, the power of AI and the potential risks if it falls into the wrong hands. Also Read: After crashing IT stocks, Anthropic launches Claude plug-ins to automate HR and banking work Collaboration with Tech Giants Anthropic collaborated with several big names in the industry, including Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia, and Linux Foundation to curb the misuse of AI. The Project Glasswing will allow partner organizations to use the Mythos model so that they can scan and secure their systems. The findings of this project will be shared with the wider industry to improve security collectively. More than 40 organizations that maintain critical software infrastructure are using this system and given access of Project Glasswing. What's more, Anthopic is also providing up to $100 million in usage credits for Mythos Preview along with ad additional funding for open-source security efforts. National Security Concerns According to Anthropic, cybersecurity is a shared responsibility, and hence, no single company can prevent attacks alone. This explains why Anthropic also collaborated with US government officials. This highlights the importance of securing critical infrastructure as a national security priority in the age of advanced AI. How Anthropic Will Prevent Malicious Use of AI As stated by Anthropic, its Project Glasswing is designed to use AI defensively to prevent malicious attacks. The tech giant warns that such AI capabilities will soon become widely available, and as a result it becomes critical and essential to act now. This is where Claude Mythos Preview enters and helps partners identify weaknesses in both first-party and open-source systems before hackers could exploit them. It appears Project Glasswing is just the beginning, and there will be more upcoming projects, focusing on AI usage and tackling AI vulnerabilities. The project marks the significant step in improving cybersecuity with AI. Cyberdefenders worldwide will need to work with AI developers, software companies, and researchers to work around malicious use of AI.
Inside Claude Mythos Preview: Anthropic's Secretive New Model and Its Transparency Play
In what has undoubtedly shaped as a rapidly intensifying AI race, Anthropic has introduced "Glasswing," a project based on their new Claude Mythos Preview model and one that signals both ambition and restraint. The initiative is positioned as a leap forward in understanding advanced AI systems and is far from an isolated research project - it's tied to a brand new model the company is intentionally keeping out of public hands. In a world where there's a steady stream of increasingly accessible artificial intelligence-based tools, Anthropic's latest Claude Mythos Preview model is notably not being released for general public use. Wrapped under the wing of project Glasswing, the initiative will be available to select tech giants like Amazon Web Services, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, JPMorganChase, the Linux Foundation, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Palo Alto Networks in what Anthropic describes as "an effort to secure the world's most critical software." The decision to avoid a market-wide rollout underscores a growing tension in the software industry - balancing innovation with safety. Anthropic appears to be taking a very cautious approach, prioritizing deep analysis over rapid deployment. The reasons for this were outlined by the team themselves: Mythos Preview has already found thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities - including some in every major operating system and web browser. The model itself is being described as highly advanced and designed not just for performance but for interpretability. In simpler terms, it's built to be studied as much as it is to be used. In fact, Anthropic is committing up to $100 million in Mythos Preview usage credits for the project's partners and promises to report back what they learn. At the heart of project Glasswing is the aim to identify vulnerabilities and exploits using Claude Mythos Preview. Anthropic revealed that many of the thousands of bugs the model already detected were critical and found in virtually every major operating system and every major web browser, along with a multitude of other important software. These were zero-day vulnerabilities, meaning that the flaws were previously unknown to software developers. For instance: Mythos Preview found a 27-year-old vulnerability in OpenBSD - which has a reputation as one of the most security-hardened operating systems in the world and is used to run firewalls and other critical infrastructure. The vulnerability allowed an attacker to remotely crash any machine running the operating system just by connecting to it. In this sense, Glasswing represents an important shift in how AI development is currently approached. Rather than racing to release the most capable systems, Anthropic is investing in understanding them first.

Investing.com -- Perplexity's revenues increased 50% in a month as the start-up ramped up its shift into AI agents from search tools, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday. Perplexity's estimated annual recurring revenue rose to more than $450 million in March, after the launch of a new agent tool and a shift to usage-based pricing, the Financial Times reported.

It makes money through consumer and enterprise subscriptions, with tiers ranging from $20 to $200 monthly.

BTS Drops Hooligan MV from ARIRANG -- and It's a Masterclass in Controlled Chaos
If you thought BTS was done surprising the world, think again. Their latest music video for "Hooligan" off the album ARIRANG just landed, and ARMY is absolutely losing it -- for all the right reasons. What Is the Hooligan Music Video About? BTS dropped the official music video for Hooligan, the third video release from their fifth studio album ARIRANG, through their official HYBE LABELS channel. And honestly? It hits different. The video opens in a parking lot -- a deliberate nod to their 2017 era, reminiscent of the "Not Today" visual style -- where the members don the same masks they debuted during their iconic Gwanghwamun Square livestreamed performance. It then moves through an underground setting and up to a rooftop, threading past and present into one seamless visual story. That attention to continuity is what separates BTS from the pack -- they're not just making a music video, they're building a universe. Adding a cinematic jolt to the video is a long-legged swordswoman who appears mid-way, perfectly synced with sword sound effects heard at the track's opening. The members are later seen standing in the middle of a storm, surrounded by hooligans being tossed around by powerful winds, before a grand illuminated stage reveals itself. RM's moment with a skeleton and a mic stand structure? Pure performance art. Hooligan BTS MV: Overview What Makes This MV Special? The Hooligan video is a love letter to longtime fans. Every location, every prop, every mask is loaded with meaning that rewards years of fandom. This is the kind of storytelling that BTS has mastered -- layering cultural references, personal history, and raw performance into under four minutes of art. ARIRANG has already seen BTS tip their hat to filmmaker Park Chan Wook's classic film Oldboy in the 2.0 music video , and Hooligan only deepens that cinematic ambition. The album is shaping up to be their most visually ambitious release yet. For more K-pop news and ARIRANG world tour updates, check out the latest coverage at Technosports.

Anthropic ropes in Microsoft executive Eric Boyd to lead infrastructure
Anthropic has hired former Microsoft executive Eric Boyd to lead its infrastructure team as demand for its AI tools grows. The company's revenue has surged, driven by products like Claude Code. However, rising usage has strained services, prompting major investments in computing capacity and data centres to support future expansion. AI startup Anthropic has hired Eric Boyd, a senior executive from Microsoft, to head its infrastructure division as demand for its artificial intelligence (AI) tools continues to rise. Sharing the news on LinkedIn, Boyd said, "AI is accelerating at an incredible pace, and the impact of Claude Code in the last 6 months, and particularly the last two months, just shows the power of what is possible." Before joining Anthropic, Boyd spent 16 years at Microsoft, where he led its AI platform, according to a report by Bloomberg. In that role, he helped both internal teams and external customers deploy large language models. He reported to executive vice president Jay Parikh and managed a team of around 1,500 people. Earlier in his career, he also held leadership roles at Yahoo, the report added. Welcoming Boyd, Anthropic's chief technology officer, Rahul Patil wrote: "His experience leading infrastructure at enterprise scale will help ensure we can meet record demand from customers around the world. " "He joins us from Microsoft, where he built core infrastructure for foundation models -- including Claude," Patil added. The development comes at a time of rapid growth for Anthropic. The company's revenue run rate has surged past $30 billion, a remarkable increase from roughly $9 billion at the end of 2025. Much of this growth has been driven by strong interest in its AI offerings, particularly Claude Code, which is designed to make coding and debugging more efficient. However, the company has also faced challenges. At times, its services have struggled to stay online due to what it described as "unprecedented demand" from both individual users and businesses. To address this, Anthropic is expanding its infrastructure capacity. On Tuesday, chipmaker Broadcom agreed on a deal with the AI startup to provide access to about 3.5 gigawatts of computing power from 2027, drawing on Google's processors. Anthropic said that the new deal builds on its earlier commitment to invest $50 billion in US-based computing infrastructure, including new data centres in Texas and New York, expected to come online through 2026. In comparison, competitor OpenAI has announced even larger commitments, saying it intends to spend around $600 billion on AI infrastructure by 2030.
