What is Anthropic's Project Glasswing?

It's a restricted program giving Claude Mythos—a supercharged vuln-finder—to select security researchers and Big Tech partners only. No public release.

Why didn't Anthropic release Claude Mythos publicly?

Too dangerous: it crafts real exploits for OSes and browsers. They fear proliferation to attackers before fixes land.

How is AI changing vulnerability research?

From human guesswork to autonomous exploit chains. Pros say it's ending manual hunting—bugs like 27-year-old OpenBSD flaws pop out effortlessly.
