- ‘It’s a hurricane warning’: Guardrails around powerful AI models may be too late
The U.S. is racing to regulate rapidly advancing AI models like Anthropic's Claude Mythos and OpenAI's GPT 5.5-Cyber before China can develop comparable models, as these systems pose significant cybersecurity risks by identifying vulnerabilities and launching cyberattacks. Experts warn the U.S. has 6-12 months to prepare before China potentially gains access to similar AI technology, which could be weaponized.
- Anthropic expanding access to Project Glasswing
Anthropic is expanding its Project Glasswing program to 150 new organizations across 15 countries, focusing on underrepresented sectors like power, water, and healthcare. The initiative, using its Claude Mythos Preview model, has already identified over 10,000 high- or critical-severity software vulnerabilities. Partners such as Cloudflare and Mozilla reported significant increases in bug discovery rates, but Anthropic emphasizes challenges in addressing these flaws due to human resource limitations.
- Scoop: OpenAI plans staggered rollout of new model over cybersecurity risk
OpenAI is finalizing a new cybersecurity-focused AI model with advanced hacking capabilities, planning a limited rollout to select companies similar to Anthropic's Mythos. This approach reflects growing concerns about AI models' potential to autonomously disrupt critical infrastructure, prompting industry leaders to adopt cautious release strategies.
