Claude Mythos Preview: Limited-Release Frontier Model with Exceptional Cybersecurity Capabilities

Anthropic has published a 244-page model card for Claude Mythos Preview, a frontier model not yet commercially available, which autonomously discovered thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities in popular operating systems and browsers during testing. To mitigate risks before potential deployment, Anthropic assembled Project Glasswing, a consortium of over 40 organizations including AWS, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and CrowdStrike, funded with $100M in model credits to patch vulnerabilities proactively. The model substantially outperforms Claude Opus 4.6, GPT-5.4, and Gemini 3.1 Pro across multiple benchmarks including CyberGym (83.1%), Terminal-Bench 2.0 (82%), GPQA Diamond (94.5%), HLE (64.7%), and GraphWalks long-context (80%). The Batch notes parallels to OpenAI's GPT-2 limited-release strategy and characterizes the announcement as having elements of a publicity stunt alongside genuine safety concerns.
