Project Glasswing: Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview Arms Defenders to Secure Critical Infrastructure
When Anthropic announced Project Glasswing, it felt like a turning point in how we think about cybersecurity. Rather than another incremental tool, Glasswing pools one of the most capable frontier language models—Claude Mythos Preview—with an unusual, urgent mission: give the organizations that run the internet and financial systems a head start against AI-enabled attackers. The initiative reads like a playbook
