Anthropic is posing new threats to AI usage and security risks.

It comes as the AI startup Anthropic said on Monday that it is revising its earlier position to allow users of its "Mythos cybersecurity model" to share information about cyber threats with others who may be exposed to similar vulnerabilities.

Mythos, ‌announced on April 7, is being deployed as part of Anthropic's "Project Glasswing," a controlled initiative under which select organizations, including major tech firms such as Amazon, Microsoft, Nvidia and Apple are permitted to use the unreleased Claude Mythos Preview model for defensive cybersecurity purposes.

According to experts, Mythos' capabilities to code at a high level have given it a potentially unprecedented ability to identify cybersecurity vulnerabilities and devise ways to exploit them.

Last week, Anthropic began telling partners that they are generally permitted to disclose their involvement in Glasswing and at their own discretion, share findings, best practices, tools or code developed through the program.

"We fully support our partners sharing findings with each other and companies outside of Glasswing to triage vulnerabilities," an Anthropic spokesperson said in a statement.

"While there was never a specific Glasswing NDA, confidentiality protections ‌were something partners asked for at the outset and were built into agreements partners signed."

The protections were included in agreements with participating companies under which the model is provided after partners sought assurances before sharing sensitive findings and expressed concern about being targeted by attackers.

"As the program has matured, we've adapted them to ensure key information can be shared broadly—including outside the program—for maximum defensive impact," the spokesperson added.

Anthropic said partners may share that information with security teams at other companies, industry bodies, regulators and government agencies, open-source maintainers, the media or the public, subject to responsible-disclosure norms.

The Pentagon is deploying Mythos to find and patch software vulnerabilities across the U.S. government even as it races to complete a transition away from the AI company, the Defense Department's top technology official said last week.
