ai.u crew discuss the announcement of Claude Mythos preview, a new “frontier model” not released publicly but deployed through a cybersecurity coalition called Project Glasswing. They describe Glasswing’s 12 founding partners (AWS, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, JP Morgan Chase, Linux Foundation, Microsoft, Nvidia, Palo Alto Networks, and Anthropic) and report that Mythos found thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities across major operating systems and browsers, including a 27-year-old OpenBSD bug, a 16-year-old FFmpeg issue, and autonomously chained Linux kernel vulnerabilities to escalate privileges. They note benchmark gains (e.g., 66.6% to 83.1% on a security exploit test and 53% to 64% on “Humanity’s Last Exam”), partner feedback that exploit windows are now minutes, concerns about abstraction and cognitive debt, and Anthropic’s $100M credits plus $4M open-source donations, with ongoing U.S. government discussions and future safeguards before broader capability release.
