1. Anthropic launches Project Glasswing using Claude Mythos, saying it identified thousands of critical bugs

Claude Mythos Preview has shown significantly stronger agentic coding and reasoning than Opus 4.6 in early benchmarks, Anthropic said:

Anthropic.

  • The unreleased model has identified thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities across major OS, web browsers, and critical software, the company said.

  • A 27-year-old OpenBSD bug and a 16-year-old FFmpeg flaw are among them.

  • Mythos scored 82% on Terminal-Bench 2.0, vs. GPT-5.4’s 75.1% and Opus 4.6’s 65.4%.

  • ā€œWe did not explicitly train Mythos Preview to have these capabilities,ā€ Anthropic said.

  • 40+ organizations will get Mythos Preview, the company said.

    • No plans to make Mythos generally available.

The project brings together 12 tech companies to secure critical software

Anthropic.

  • Anthropic has committed up to $100M in usage credits, along with $4M in donations to open-source security groups.
