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.

Ireland fuel crisis talks as ministers meet after nationwide protest chaos
A convoy of trucks, vans and tractors pictured on the N4 eastbound at Palmerstown(Image: Collins ) Ministers will meet today to discuss the energy crisis after chaos was caused throughout the country yesterday as hauliers and farmers protested about the skyrocketing cost of fuel. This comes as the Government said it is "firmly committed" to supporting households and businesses with rising fuel and energy costs. Slow moving convoys on major motorways across the island caused frustration among motorists yesterday, with some driving on the hard shoulder to bypass protestors. Tractors, lorries and trucks converged on Dublin's O'Connell Street in the afternoon as one protestor said up to 500 vehicles were expected to protest in the city. The Cabinet will not sit today but a meeting will take place this morning to discuss the worsening fuel crisis. Ministers including Taoiseach Micheál Martin, Tánaiste Simon Harris, Transport Minister Darragh O'Brien, Public Expenditure Minister Jack Chambers and Minister of State at the Department of Transport Sean Canney will be in attendance. Speaking on Sunday, the Tánaiste said they will be looking at the current situation "in terms of energy supply and energy security". It's understood that ministers will receive a briefing from the National Oil Reserves Agency (NORA) and there will be discussions about what other countries are doing. O'Connell Street was brought to a standstill by noon yesterday with coaches, cars, lorries and tractors parked on the capital's main thoroughfare. Agricultural contractor Gary Leonard said he had travelled with a convoy of around 80 from Navan in County Meath to O'Connell Street. He said he believes carbon tax and excise duty should be removed from diesel. He said this time last year, it cost €250 to fill an "ordinary middle-sized tractor", but it now costs €450. Mr Leonard said it took the convoy around four hours to reach Dublin and the reaction on the way was "unbelievable", adding: "The solidarity is really, really showing today." The 26-year-old said prices mean it is "getting hard to make a living", despite working full time, adding it is "nearly impossible" to "get on in life" in Ireland. John Dallon travelled with a convoy from County Kildare, and said: "We're calling on the Government to save our economy. "If the Government does not take us seriously, the economy will come to a halt, it'll just stop running, because the people just will not be able to afford fuel. I can see this being a bigger collapse than back in the Celtic Tiger." The farmer said it is not just the agriculture industry that is affected, haulage and construction sectors are also under "serious pressure". The demonstration is "not just for the people in business", he added, "but for the whole community of Ireland". He outlined a number of measures the protesters want to see put in place, including a cap on white diesel at 165 or 175 cents per litre and a cap on green diesel at 90 cents, and the abolition of the carbon tax and excise duty. In a statement released ahead of a planned rally on O'Connell Street, Aontu leader Peadar Toibin called for a carbon tax cut. He said the Government is "the key driver" of high prices for fuel in Ireland and it is "charging a tax on a staple product that people simply do not have the ability to pay". Ger Hyland, president of the Irish Road Haulage Association, said the organisation is not involved in the protest. When pressed, Mr Hyland refused to say whether he supports the protest and said while the association is at the table trying to negotiate a deal with the Government he would not give an answer. He said he "empathised" with demonstrators, adding members of his organisation were "probably" involved and that "it's up to every individual haulier himself to do as he sees fit for his company". The IRHA met with Minister O'Brien and Minister Canney last Friday. A spokesperson for the Transport Minister said further work is being undertaken between the department and the IRHA, and they remain in regular contact. They added: "Recognising energy affordability is currently the most pressing issue facing the country, the Government is firmly committed to supporting households and businesses with rising fuel and energy costs. "So far, we have allocated €250 million in targeted supports to assist those experiencing real and immediate financial pressure - one of the most substantial measures introduced anywhere in the EU - including excise reductions on diesel and petrol, and an enhancement of the Diesel Rebate Scheme for licenced hauliers."

Perplexity revenue jumps 50% in pivot from search to AI agents
Perplexity's revenues have jumped 50 per cent in a month, as the start-up accelerates its shift into AI agents in an effort to keep pace with larger and better-funded rivals. Estimated annual recurring revenue rose to more than $450mn in March, after the launch of a new agent tool and a shift to usage-based pricing, according to figures seen by the FT. The move marks a shift of focus away from its chatbot-style search engine, once seen as the biggest challenge to Google in two decades. Instead, it is pushing AI agents that can carry out tasks on users' behalf, as companies across the sector experiment with pricing models to reflect the higher costs of running them. The start-up has more than 100mn monthly active users from its search and agent tools, according to executives, including tens of thousands of enterprise clients. It makes money through consumer and enterprise subscriptions, with tiers ranging from $20 to $200 monthly. With the launch of its AI agent Computer in February, Perplexity has also added a usage-based pricing model, under which top-tier subscribers receive a set number of credits before paying for additional use. Unlike subscription revenue, usage pricing can be a more volatile metric for estimating annual growth and less comparable with previous months. Before the new pricing system, the start-up had grown its ARR from $16mn to $305mn over two years, according to the figures seen by the FT. Even so, Perplexity's growth trajectory is dwarfed by other leading AI start-ups. Coding company Cursor has grown to $2bn ARR from less than $100mn in 2024. Anthropic said its ARR hit $19bn at the end of February, compared to the $20bn OpenAI generated last year. The company's focus on AI agents comes after its efforts to launch an AI-powered search engine proved controversial. It has faced lawsuits alleging copyright infringement and plagiarism by publishers such as The New York Times and Britannica, alleging that it is "illegally copying" content. A recent privacy suit claims it shared user data with Google and Meta without consent. The company has denied wrongdoing on these claims. Perplexity also put itself forward as a potential acquirer of the US arm of TikTok last year, a proposal that gained little traction as a group of existing investors and others with ties to the Trump administration eventually took control of the social media business. Last year, Perplexity launched its AI web browser, Comet, one of the first of this kind to market. Comet can act as an agent on users' behalf, following voice and text commands to perform tasks such as shopping, summarising social media feeds and sending emails. This year, Perplexity launched its agentic product Computer, as well as Model Council, which runs queries through different models and shows outputs side-by-side. The company offers a range of models from OpenAI's GPT and Anthropic's Claude, to open-source offerings from Chinese companies such as DeepSeek's R1 and Moonshot's Kimi. AI groups are now exploring pricing models to pay for heavier workloads driven by more agentic systems. After Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang encouraged the audience at its annual conference last month to subscribe to Perplexity's computer tool and "pay the maximum amount", Aravind Srinivas, Perplexity's chief executive, replied: "There is no limit, you can spend as much as you want." Perplexity was last valued at $20bn in September, up from $500mn at the beginning of 2024. Its investors include Nvidia, SoftBank's Vision Fund 2, venture capitalists New Enterprise Associates and IVP -- as well as Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Meta's former chief AI scientist Yann LeCun. A Perplexity executive told the FT that revenue retention was "strong", without providing a figure. Lossmaking Perplexity pays model providers like OpenAI and Anthropic to use their models, as well as the inference costs of running queries. However, one person close to Perplexity said the start-up's advantage was being able to triage requests to the most efficient model for each purpose. For example, OpenAI's Codex and Anthropic's Claude Code for coding; OpenAI's GPT-5 for writing or Anthropic's Opus for reasoning, they said.

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.

Anthropic Launches 'Project Glasswing', AI That Can Find Software Bugs Before Hackers
Anthropic wrote in its blog post that the initiative follows internal observations of its Claude Mythos2 Preview model, which easily detects weaknesses, analyses code, and suggests ways those flaws could be exploited. According to the firm, this model has identified hundreds of previously unknown vulnerabilities across operating systems, browsers, and other widely used software. The tech company stated that its Project Glasswing will help the tech giants, allowing them to deploy the model to scan and secure both their proprietary and open-source software.
Anthropic builds AI so powerful it won't release publicly
Anthropic has announced that it will not be releasing its latest artificial intelligence (AI) model, Mythos, to the public. The decision comes due to concerns over the model's ability to detect "high-severity vulnerabilities" in major operating systems and web browsers. The company said in its preview system card that Claude Mythos Preview's large increase in capabilities has led us to decide not to make it generally available.
Anthropic touts AI cybersecurity project with Big Tech partners
Anthropic on Tuesday announced an initiative with major technology companies, including Amazon.com, Microsoft and Apple, that lets partners preview an advanced model with cybersecurity capabilities developed by the AI startup. Under its "Project Glasswing", select organisations will be allowed to use the startup's unreleased and general-purpose AI model, "Claude Mythos Preview", for defensive cybersecurity work, Anthropic said. Other partners include CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, Google and Nvidia. The announcement follows a Fortune report last month that Anthropic was testing Claude Mythos, which it said posed security risks and also offered advanced capabilities, dragging shares of cybersecurity firms such as Palo Alto Networks and CrowdStrike sharply lower. Anthropic partners with Broadcom and Google for AI chips This year's RSA cybersecurity conference in San Francisco was also dominated by talkabout the rise of AI-powered cyberattacks and whether conventional security tools sufficed. In a blog post on Tuesday, Anthropic said Mythos Preview had found "thousands" of major vulnerabilities in operating systems, web browsers and other software. The startup said launch partners will use Mythos Preview in their defensive security work, and Anthropic will share findings with industry. Anthropic said it is also extending access to about 40 additional organisations responsible for critical software infrastructure, and made a commitment of up to $100 million in usage credits and $4 million in donations to open-source security groups. The AI startup added that its eventual goal is for "our users to safely deploy Mythos-class models at scale." The startup said it has also been in ongoing discussions with the U.S. government about the model's capabilities. Last year, Anthropic said that hackers exploited vulnerabilities in its Claude AI to attack around 30 global organisations. Moreover, 67% of the 1,000 executives surveyed in an IBM and Palo Alto Networks study said they had been targeted by AI attacks within the past year.
Anthropic launches Project Glasswing to fight AI-driven cyberattacks, know how
According to Anthropic, the model has already discovered 'thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities,' including issues in major operating systems and web browsers. Anthropic has introduced a new initiative called Project Glasswing, which brings together some of the world's biggest technology and infrastructure players to tackle a growing threat: AI-driven cyberattacks. The project includes major partners, including Amazon Web Services, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia and Linux Foundation, among others. The goal is simple: use advanced AI systems to secure critical software before attackers can exploit it. At the centre of this effort is an unreleased AI model called Claude Mythos Preview. According to Anthropic, this model represents a new level of capability. It can identify and exploit software vulnerabilities at a level that surpasses 'all but the most skilled humans.' The company revealed that the model has already discovered 'thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities,' including issues in major operating systems and web browsers. This shows how quickly AI tools are advancing and why there is concern about these tools falling into the wrong hands. Anthropic warned that 'it will not be long before such capabilities proliferate, potentially beyond actors who are committed to deploying them safely.' Project Glasswing is designed to stay ahead of that threat by using the same powerful AI defensively.

Anthropic also plans to share findings so that the whole industry can benefit. Also, more than 40 organisations that build or maintain critical software infrastructure have been given access to the system. To support the effort, Anthropic is committing up to $100 million in usage credits for Mythos Preview and additional funding for open-source security work. The company emphasised that no single organisation can solve cybersecurity problems alone. 'We need to act now,' it said. Anthropic is also working with US government officials and said that securing critical infrastructure is now a key national security priority in the age of advanced AI.
Meet Claude Mythos, Anthropic AI so powerful it can hack any software, preview out now
Claude Mythos is so good that Anthropic has decided not to release it to the public, at least for now. (Representational image made with AI) Anthropic has announced its latest artificial intelligence model, called Claude Mythos Preview. The new model is the company's most advanced one yet, surpassing its older Claude Opus 4.6 model as well as rival models such as Gemini 3.1 on various benchmarks. However, Claude Mythos Preview may be so powerful that Anthropic is not ready to release it yet, and the reason is cybersecurity. The Dario Amodei-led claims that Claude Mythos is so powerful that it was able to spot thousands of cybersecurity vulnerabilities that were missed by humans across apps and operating systems. As a result, Anthropic has announced that it is working with over 40 tech companies to use Mythos and fix such vulnerabilities before potentially releasing such a model to the public. The AI startup said in a blog post that Claude Mythos Preview could identify "thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities" across web browsers, and operating systems, which could pose a big risk in terms of cybersecurity. Zero-day vulnerabilities refer to flaws that were not identified by software developers previously. This included a 27-year-old vulnerability in OpenBSD, an open-source operating system known for security-first approach, often used in firewalls and servers. Claude Mythos Preview also found numerous vulnerabilities in Linux kernel, which is used to run most servers worldwide. Anthropic claimed that these flaws could allow an attacker to "escalate from ordinary user access to complete control of the machine." Do note that Claude Mythos was first spotted in a data leak of Anthropic's content management system (CMS). The company had confirmed at the time that it was going to be its most powerful AI model to date. Following the observations, Anthropic decided to delay, if not cancel, the release of Claude Mythos to the general public. Instead, the company has launched Project Glasswing, where it will work with major tech companies to identify and patch such vulnerabilities across various apps and operating systems. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei wrote on X, "The dangers of getting this wrong are obvious, 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." The consortium includes major companies such as Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon Web Services, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, Cisco, Broadcom, and the Linux Foundation. Anthropic has committed up to $100 million in model usage credits to support Project Glasswing efforts, with partners paying for usage beyond this allocation. Anthropic claims that Claude Mythos is just one example of how advanced AI models have become. The company believes that it is necessary to fix such vulnerabilities right now, before such models become more widespread. The company's official X account wrote, "Given the pace of AI progress, it won't be long before models this capable are widespread." Do note that Claude Mythos was not specifically trained for cybersecurity but benefits from its advanced coding and reasoning skills. According to Anthropic, the improved cyber capabilities are a byproduct of its general-purpose design. Anthropic is collaborating with U.S. government agencies and security organisations to develop safeguards and best practices for deploying such powerful models responsibly. The Dario Amodei-led startup had a fallout with the US Pentagon after it walked away from a defense deal over disagreements on unrestricted AI use earlier this year.
