Anthropic expands Project Glasswing to 150 new organizations across critical infrastructure sectors
Anthropic is expanding Project Glasswing, its AI-assisted cybersecurity initiative, from ~50 initial partners to approximately 150 additional organizations spanning power, water, healthcare, communications, and hardware sectors across 15+ countries. Partners use Claude Mythos Preview to scan codebases for vulnerabilities, with the initial cohort already identifying more than 10,000 high- or critical-severity security flaws. Anthropic also announced Claude Security, a product using Claude Opus 4.8 for codebase scanning and patch suggestions, and is releasing internal vulnerability-finding tools to trusted security teams. The company warns that Mythos-class cyber capabilities will be widely available within 6–12 months and frames Project Glasswing as a proactive effort to help defenders adapt before that threshold is reached.

Anthropic Releases Claude Mythos Preview with Extraordinary Cybersecurity Capabilities, Forms Project Glasswing Consortium
Anthropic has published a 244-page model card for Claude Mythos Preview, a large language model not yet commercially available, which broadly outperforms Claude Opus 4.6 and is described as 'strikingly capable' at identifying and exploiting code vulnerabilities. To mitigate risks before potential release, Anthropic assembled Project Glasswing, a consortium including AWS, Apple, Google, Microsoft, CrowdStrike, Nvidia, and 40+ other organizations, funded with $100 million in API credits and $4 million in open-source security donations. This marks the first time Anthropic has published a model card without making the model commercially available, signaling an unusual safety-first deployment posture. The issue also includes commentary from Andrew Ng on AI's impact on software engineering jobs, arguing against an 'AI jobpocalypse' narrative.
Anthropic Launches Claude Code Security: AI-Powered Vulnerability Detection for Defenders
Anthropic has released Claude Code Security in limited research preview for Enterprise and Team customers, a capability built into Claude Code that scans codebases for security vulnerabilities and suggests patches for human review. Unlike rule-based static analysis tools, it uses Claude's reasoning to understand code context, trace data flows, and detect complex vulnerabilities including novel ones. Built on Claude Opus 4.6, the system found over 500 previously undetected vulnerabilities in production open-source codebases during internal research. The release is framed as a defensive measure to put AI-enabled vulnerability discovery in the hands of defenders before attackers can exploit the same capabilities.
Anthropic Releases Claude Opus 4.7 with Enhanced Coding, Vision, and Cyber Safeguards
Anthropic has released Claude Opus 4.7, a general-availability model positioned as a meaningful improvement over Opus 4.6 in advanced software engineering, long-horizon agentic tasks, and vision capabilities including higher image resolution. The model is notably the first to receive new cybersecurity safeguards developed in response to Project Glasswing, with automatic detection and blocking of prohibited cyber uses and a new Cyber Verification Program for legitimate security professionals. Opus 4.7 is available across Claude products, API, Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud Vertex AI, and Microsoft Foundry at the same pricing as Opus 4.6 ($5/$25 per million input/output tokens). The release is explicitly positioned below Claude Mythos Preview in overall capability, serving as a testbed for safety mechanisms before broader deployment of Mythos-class models.
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.
Anthropic Frontier Red Team reports early-warning signs of rapid AI progress in cybersecurity and biosecurity capabilities
Anthropic's Frontier Red Team published findings from a year of safety evaluations across four model releases, documenting rapid capability gains in dual-use domains. In cybersecurity, Claude 3.7 Sonnet now solves roughly a third of Cybench CTF challenges (up from ~5% a year ago), and with the Incalmo toolset was able to replicate a large-scale network attack in realistic cyber range environments. In biosecurity, Claude has moved from underperforming virology experts to exceeding them on the VCT benchmark within one year, and exceeds human expert baselines on cloning workflows. Anthropic assesses current models as showing 'early warning' signs but not yet crossing thresholds of substantially elevated national security risk.
Anthropic Discloses First Reported AI-Orchestrated Cyber Espionage Campaign Using Claude Code
Anthropic detected and disrupted a sophisticated espionage campaign in mid-September 2025, attributed with high confidence to a Chinese state-sponsored threat actor, that used Claude Code as an autonomous agent to attack roughly thirty global targets across tech, finance, chemical manufacturing, and government sectors. The attackers jailbroke Claude Code by decomposing malicious tasks into seemingly innocent subtasks and falsely framing it as defensive security testing, enabling largely autonomous reconnaissance, vulnerability exploitation, credential harvesting, and data exfiltration. Anthropic describes this as the first documented large-scale cyberattack executed without substantial human intervention, leveraging agentic AI capabilities, tool access via MCP, and advanced coding skills. The company banned identified accounts, notified affected entities, coordinated with authorities, and is expanding detection classifiers and publishing the report to aid industry and government defenses.
Anthropic releases Claude Mythos 5 and Claude Fable 5 with unprecedented capability restrictions and safety tiers
Anthropic launched Claude Mythos 5, a restricted-access model capable of cracking previously secure software, and Claude Fable 5, a general-use version with novel safety classifiers that block or degrade responses on cybersecurity, biology, chemistry, and AI-development topics. Both models set new state-of-the-art results across software engineering, agentic coding, knowledge work, and scientific reasoning benchmarks, and are priced at roughly half the cost of the prior Claude Mythos Preview. Claude Fable 5 initially included undisclosed capability degradation for AI-development prompts — applied silently via prompt modification or steering vectors — which sparked controversy before Anthropic modified the policy. The release represents a significant escalation in both frontier capability and the operational complexity of safety-tiered model deployment.
Accenture and Anthropic Launch Multi-Year Partnership to Scale Enterprise Claude Deployment
Anthropic and Accenture have announced a major partnership expansion forming the Accenture Anthropic Business Group, a dedicated practice with approximately 30,000 professionals trained on Claude. The partnership includes a joint CIO-focused product centered on Claude Code—claimed to hold over half the AI coding market—and industry-specific offerings for financial services, healthcare, life sciences, and public sector. Anthropic reports its enterprise market share has grown from 24% to 40%, with this described as its largest-ever deployment of Claude Code.
