Securing critical software for the AI era

// OVERVIEW

Why Glasswing Exists

Claude Mythos Preview's cybersecurity capabilities far exceed any existing AI model. It can fully autonomously discover and exploit zero-day vulnerabilities — no human involvement required. This means the barrier for attackers has been fundamentally lowered.

Anthropic's response isn't to hide the model — it's to put it in the hands of defenders. Project Glasswing gives vetted partners early access to Mythos Preview so they can patch critical software before attackers gain equivalent capabilities.

This is the first model Anthropic has published a System Card for without making it generally available. Their assessment: Mythos's cyber capabilities are too powerful for unrestricted public release at this time.

Glasswing FAQ

chevron_right

Can individual developers join Glasswing?

Not currently. Glasswing is limited to vetted organizations, primarily founding partners and early access participants. Anthropic says access will expand as safety measures mature.

chevron_right

What happens with vulnerabilities found through Glasswing?

Responsible disclosure. Partners notify software maintainers first, allow time for patching, then publish details. The goal is to fix vulnerabilities, not create panic.

chevron_right

Why not just open-source Mythos?

Because Mythos is as powerful offensively as it is defensively. Anthropic's assessment is that releasing the model without sufficient safeguards poses far more risk than benefit. Glasswing is the current compromise — let defenders use it first.
