SiliconRepublic.com has asked Anthropic whether Irish financial institutions will take part in Project Glasswing.

Anthropic will release Mythos to UK financial institutions within the next week, said the company’s UK, Ireland and northern Europe head Pip White.

White, in an interview with Bloomberg, said that Project Glasswing is coming to the UK “in the next week”. “The engagement I have had from UK CEOs in the last week has been significant,” she said. White was appointed to the role last November.

Anthropic’s newest model Mythos vastly outperforms other AI models in vulnerability detection and exploitation. The model was launched as part of a limited release earlier this month, with access granted to big businesses and financial organisations to bolster their security.

The company’s approach to launch Mythos in a controlled fashion has been called “responsible” by the Irish National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).

Involved parties include Amazon Web Services, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, JP Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley among others. SiliconRepublic.com has reached out to Anthropic, AIB and the Bank of Ireland to query a potential Mythos deployment within financial institutions in Ireland.

Soon after the model’s launch, US authorities warned Wall Street leaders to take Mythos seriously, while top Canadian financial institutions and state agencies gathered to discuss cybersecurity risks raised by it. Similar discussions commenced in the UK and Germany.

Meanwhile, an Oireachtas Joint Committee on AI earlier this week heard on the dangers that Mythos poses for the future of cybersecurity. “In five months – six months – it’ll be in the hands of an active state [actor],” Richard Browne, the director of the NCSC said. “Governance is great, very important, but it doesn’t stop criminal actors.”

“The issue is not that Anthropic has created this. The issue is that Anthropic has demonstrated that this is possible,” he said. The Claude-maker will be creating 200 new jobs in Dublin by 2027 as its premises in the city expands.

Following Mythos, OpenAI said this week that it will only allow select verified users access to its latest AI model for cybersecurity operations. The cyber-specific version of GPT-5.4 lowers the refusal boundary for “legitimate” cybersecurity work, the company said.
