Project Glasswing is a new initiative by Amazon Web Services, Anthropic, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, JPMorganChase, Linux Foundation, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Palo Alto Networks to secure critical software in the AI era. The initiative focuses on using an advanced AI model called Claude Mythos Preview to identify vulnerabilities and exploits in major operating systems, web browsers, and other important pieces of software. The model has already found thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities across various platforms, including OpenBSD, FFmpeg, and Linux kernel. The participating companies will use the model for defensive security work, and Anthropic is committing up to $100M in usage credits for Mythos Preview across these efforts.
