AI research company Anthropic is rolling out a preview of its new unreleased frontier model, Mythos, to a select group of tech and cybersecurity companies under a new initiative called Project Glasswing. These partners include Amazon Web Services, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, Palo Alto Networks, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, the Linux Foundation, and JPMorganChase. Under Project Glasswing, these partners will use the general-purpose model to find and fix vulnerabilities or weaknesses in their foundational systems as part of their defensive security work.
Warning about the risk posed by powerful AI models, Anthropic wrote in a blog post, “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.”
Meanwhile, in a video released alongside the blog, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said, “Capabilities in a model like this could do harm if in the wrong hands, and so we won't be releasing this model widely. More powerful models are going to come from us and from others, and so we do need a plan to respond to this.”
The AI start-up says that it used Claude Mythos over the last few weeks to identify thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities ‘in every major operating system and every major web browser’.
In the benchmarks revealed by Anthropic, Mythos Preview got a score of 83.1% in areas measuring its ability to independently recreate known security flaws and generate functional exploit codes.
