Anthropic’s Project Glasswing brings partners to use Mythos Preview
Anthropic introduced Project Glasswing, an initiative that brings together Amazon Web Services, Anthropic, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, JPMorganChase, the Linux Foundation, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Palo Alto Networks. The stated focus is securing critical software, using Mythos Preview as part of defensive security work.
Project Glasswing partners plan to use Mythos Preview for scanning and security activities, including first-party systems and open-source systems that build or maintain critical software infrastructure. Anthropic said it would share learning from these efforts so that the broader IT industry can benefit, and it extended access to a group of over 40 additional organizations for model use.
Anthropic tied the initiative to research findings about Mythos Preview’s coding and reasoning abilities. In early testing, it said the model autonomously found thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities, including a 27-year-old bug in OpenBSD and a 16-year-old flaw in FFmpeg code that had been scanned by automated tools millions of times without detection. The company also reported that Mythos Preview scored 83% on the CyberGym cybersecurity benchmark.
Anthropic said Project Glasswing partners will use Mythos Preview to find and fix zero-day vulnerabilities in critical codebases before they can be discovered by malicious actors, and to scan both first-party systems and open-source software. The company also said it committed up to $100M in usage credits for Mythos Preview across these efforts, plus $4M in direct donations to open-source security organizations. “The initiative aims to use Mythos’s capabilities to find and fix zero-day vulnerabilities in critical codebases before they can be discovered by malicious actors,” said the initiative’s core objectives statement. “Partners use the model to scan first-party systems and open-source software that underpin global banking, energy, and logistics networks,” said the second core objective. “Anthropic is collaborating with partners to evolve security workflows, such as patching and disclosure processes, to match the ‘machine speed’ of AI-driven vulnerability discovery,” said the third core objective.
