Anthropic Scales Claude Mythos to Critical Infrastructure in 15+ Countries
Anthropic is significantly expanding Project Glasswing, its AI-powered security vulnerability program, to approximately 150 organizations across more than 15 countries. This expansion targets critical infrastructure sectors where cyberattacks could affect over 100 million people.
What is Claude Mythos?
Claude Mythos is Anthropic's most powerful AI model designed specifically for cybersecurity. The model can identify thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities over several weeks by scanning codebases for security flaws.

Project Glasswing Timeline
April 2026: Anthropic launched Project Glasswing with 50 initial partners, including the U.S. government, giving them access to Claude Mythos Preview.
June 2026: Expansion to 150 organizations across 15+ countries, focusing on critical infrastructure not well-represented in the initial cohort.
Competitive Landscape
Anthropic acknowledges that other AI companies will soon develop models as capable as Mythos, which is why the company is racing to establish safeguards. Rival OpenAI has already released GPT-5.5-Cyber, a competing cybersecurity-focused model being tested with a large partner group.
Strategic Context
This announcement comes one day after Anthropic filed confidentially for an IPO following a $65 billion funding round at nearly a $1 trillion valuation.
Why This Matters
According to Anthropic, each partner organization maintains codebases that other organizations and governments rely upon. A successful attack on these systems could be catastrophic, affecting more than 100 million people and having major implications for global and national security.
