The Pentagon is deploying Anthropic’s Mythos cybersecurity model to find and patch software vulnerabilities across the U.S. government even as it races to complete a transition away from the AI company, the Defense Department’s top technology official said on Tuesday. Announced on April 7, Mythos is being deployed as part of Anthropic’s “Project Glasswing,” a controlled initiative under which select organizations are permitted to use the unreleased Claude Mythos Preview model for defensive cybersecurity purposes. Mythos, according to Anthropic, is capable of detecting decades-old vulnerabilities in web browsers, infrastructure and software. Emil Michael, the Defense Department’s chief technology officer and under secretary for research and engineering, said the Pentagon continues to execute on its plan to remove Anthropic’s products from its work in the coming months.
