What is Project Glasswing exactly?

Anthropic's initiative deploying Claude Mythos Preview—an ultra-capable AI for finding zero-days—exclusively to vetted defenders like Google and Linux Foundation, with $100M credits to patch systems before attackers weaponize similar tech.

Does Claude Mythos really outperform humans in bug hunting?

Yes—autonomously chains exploits, finds ancient bugs in OpenBSD and FFmpeg, scores 83%+ on benchmarks. Maintainers confirm patches look human-quality, a huge leap from prior 'AI slop.'

Can Project Glasswing stop all cyberattacks?

No, but it gives defenders a crucial edge, buying time to harden open source and enterprise stacks. Expect copycats on both sides—it's fueling an AI cyber arms race.
