Overview
- U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Fed Chair Jerome Powell met major bank CEOs at the Treasury on Tuesday to warn that Mythos could expose core banking software to rapid, automated hacks.
- Anthropic says the model can find and build exploits across every major operating system and web browser, including zero‑day flaws that have not yet been disclosed or patched.
- Access is restricted through Project Glasswing to about 40 partners such as Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and Cisco, with Anthropic covering up to $100 million in usage and donating $4 million to open‑source security groups.
- In company tests, the system surfaced thousands of critical bugs, including a 27‑year flaw in OpenBSD and a hard‑to‑spot error in FFmpeg that automated tools had missed after millions of runs.
- Anthropic remains in court over a Pentagon supply‑chain risk designation after an appeals court declined to pause the blacklisting, which blocks Defense contracts and raises oversight stakes.
