What is Anthropic's Mythos model?

It's an experimental LLM tuned for security research, previewed April 7, 2026, that autonomously finds vulns in real code like the Linux kernel with little guidance.

How does Project Glasswing work?

Linux Foundation tool giving select maintainers AI-powered security reviews via Anthropic's models — early access focuses on critical OSS projects.

Will AI replace human security researchers?

No — it accelerates discovery, but humans validate, contextualize, and patch. Think force multiplier, not replacement.
