US Pentagon deploys Anthropic’s Mythos to patch cyber gaps while planning to ditch firm

The Pentagon is deploying Anthropic’s Mythos cybersecurity model to find and patch software vulnerabilities across the US government even as it races to complete a transition away from the AI ‌company, the Defense ⁠Department’s ⁠top technology official said on Tuesday.

Announced on April 7, Mythos is being deployed as part of Anthropic’s “Project Glasswing,” a controlled initiative under which select organisations are permitted to use the unreleased Claude Mythos Preview model for defensive cybersecurity purposes.
