Trump officials may be encouraging banks to test Anthropic’s Mythos model

Trump officials may be encouraging banks to test Anthropic’s Mythos model

Published by skeptic

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell summoned bank executives for a meeting this week where they encouraged the executives to use Anthropic’s new Mythos model to detect vulnerabilities, according to Bloomberg.  Indeed, while JPMorgan Chase was the only bank listed as one of the initial partner organizations with access to the model, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Bank of America, and Morgan Stanley are reportedly testing Mythos as well. Anthropic announced the model this week but said it would be limiting access for now, in part because Mythos — despite not being trained specifically for cybersecurity — is too good at finding security vulnerabilities. (Others suggested this was hype or simply a smart enterprise sales strategy.) The report is particularly surprising since Anthropic is currently battling the Trump administration in court over the Department of Defense’s designation of Anthropic as a supply-chain risk; that designation came after negotiations fell apart over the company’s efforts to limit how its AI models can be used by the government. Meanwhile, the Financial Times reports that U.K. …

Why Anthropic’s new AI model is too powerful to release – Tech 24

Published by Sam Flores

One of the world’s leading AI companies has built a model so powerful that it refuses to fully release it publicly just yet, prompting urgent talks from Wall Street to financial regulators in the UK. Anthropic says its new AI model, Claude Mythos Preview, is so advanced at finding software weaknesses that the company fears it could become a hacker’s most powerful tool. It’s believed to have uncovered tens of thousands of critical software vulnerabilities across every major operating system and web browser. During testing, the model allegedly autonomously broke out of its “sandbox, a secure virtual environment, and independently published details of its own escape online.  So Anthropic is keeping it from public release. Instead, it has launched Project Glasswing, which gives controlled access to the AI model to more than 40 tech and financial firms, including Apple, Google and Microsoft, to find and patch flaws in critical systems before it’s released to the general public and hackers can. Anthropic is backing the project with $100US million in usage credits and $4 million in …

Vance, Bessent questioned tech giants on AI security before Anthropic’s Mythos release, CNBC reports

Published by Sam Flores

April 10 : U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent questioned leading tech CEOs about AI model security and how to respond to cyber attacks a week before Anthropic released its new Mythos model, CNBC reported on Friday.  Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, Alphabet’s Sundar Pichai, OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Microsoft’s Satya Nadella and the heads of Palo Alto Networks and CrowdStrike were on the call, according to the report. Anthropic declined to comment, while Alphabet, OpenAI, Microsoft, Palo Alto and CrowdStrike did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment.  Earlier this week, Anthropic launched a powerful AI model but held off on releasing it widely over concerns that it could expose hidden cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Only a group of around 40 tech heavyweights, including Microsoft and Google, would have access to Anthropic’s “Claude Mythos” model. The startup had said it had been in ongoing discussions with the U.S. government about the model’s capabilities. Source link

Anthropic’s Mythos Will Force a Cybersecurity Reckoning—Just Not the One You Think

Anthropic’s Mythos Will Force a Cybersecurity Reckoning—Just Not the One You Think

Published by skeptic

Anthropic said this week that the debut of its new Claude Mythos Preview model marks a critical juncture in the evolution of cybersecurity, representing an unprecedented existential threat to existing software defense strategies. So, is it more AI hype—or a true turning point? According to Anthropic, Mythos Preview crosses a threshold of capabilities to discover vulnerabilities in virtually any and every operating system, browser, or other software product and autonomously develop working exploits for hacking. With this in mind, the company is only releasing the new model to a few dozen organizations for now—including Microsoft, Apple, Google, and the Linux Foundation—as part of a consortium dubbed Project Glasswing. But after years of speculation about how generative AI could impact cybersecurity, the news this week ignited controversy about whether a reckoning has really arrived and what it might look like in practice. Some are extremely skeptical of Anthropic’s claims. They argue that existing AI agents can already help users find and exploit vulnerabilities much more easily and cheaply than ever before, and that this reality is …

Anthropic’s AI hacking tech triggers concern in German cyber agency – POLITICO

Anthropic’s AI hacking tech triggers concern in German cyber agency – POLITICO

Published by Sam Flores

Anthropic announced on Tuesday evening that it shared its latest model with a newly formed group of 12 cybersecurity firms and 40 other unnamed organizations to scan and stress-test their systems. Experts fear the model, if used for malicious purposes, could lead to massive cybersecurity breaches across the tech supply chain. BSI has not yet directly tested the tool, Plattner said in a written statement, but the agency had conversations with developers that had have given it “meaningful insight” into how the Mythos model works. Cyber officials have dialed up their warnings in recent months that AI tools are getting better at finding cyber flaws. The head of the EU’s cyber agency ENISA in February described the impact of AI on cybersecurity as an oncoming “storm.” According to Plattner, the German cyber chief, Anthropic’s new Mythos model means “we may reach a point in the medium term where unknown, classical software vulnerabilities simply cease to exist.” Source link

Anthropic’s AI to Help Apple Find iOS, macOS, and Safari Vulnerabilities

Published by skeptic

Anthropic on Tuesday announced Project Glasswing, a new initiative that will enable tech companies to use its new AI model Mythos Preview to find and fix security vulnerabilities or weaknesses across operating systems and web browsers. Mythos Preview has already found thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities, including some in every major operating system and web browser, according to Anthropic. “AI models have reached a level of coding capability where they can surpass all but the most skilled humans at finding and exploiting software vulnerabilities,” said Anthropic. “Given the rate of AI progress, it will not be long before such capabilities proliferate, potentially beyond actors who are committed to deploying them safely.” “Project Glasswing is an urgent attempt to put these capabilities to work for defensive purposes,” added the company. Mythos Preview will not be available to the public. Instead, Anthropic said use of the model will be limited to selected partners, with the initial group beyond Anthropic itself including Apple, Amazon Web Services, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, JPMorganChase, the Linux Foundation, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Palo Alto …

Anthropic’s New Product Aims to Handle the Hard Part of Building AI Agents

Anthropic’s New Product Aims to Handle the Hard Part of Building AI Agents

Published by skeptic

Anthropic announced Wednesday the launch of a new product that aims to make it easier for businesses to build and deploy AI agents. The tool, Claude Managed Agents, offers developers out-of-the-box infrastructure to build autonomous AI systems, simplifying a complex process that was previously a barrier to automating work tasks. The move positions Anthropic to capitalize on its rapidly growing enterprise business. On Tuesday, the company said that its annualized recurring revenue has surpassed $30 billion, roughly three times higher than it was in December 2025. Both Anthropic and OpenAI, which also has an agent platform called Frontier, are racing to build out robust enterprise offerings as they prepare to go public as soon as this year. The majority of Anthropic’s recent revenue growth has come from Claude Platform, an enterprise product that allows developers to tap into the company’s AI models through an API, according to Anthropic’s head of product for the Claude Platform, Angela Jiang. Developers have been using Anthropic’s API to deploy AI agents, such as Claude Code, in their workspace. Jiang …
