What is it?

Project Glasswing is Anthropic's coordinated effort with about 50 partners to use its Claude Mythos Preview model to find and fix security flaws in critical software ahead of attackers. This is the program's first public results, covering its opening month.

How does it work?

Partners run Claude Mythos against their own codebases and a sweep of open-source projects. Anthropic's automated scan of 1,000+ projects flagged 6,202 high- or critical-severity issues; independent assessment confirmed 1,587 as valid, a 90.6% true-positive rate. Findings route to maintainers through coordinated disclosure.

Why does it matter?

It is a concrete data point on whether frontier models can do useful defensive security at scale. Maintainers get real fixes (530 bugs reported, 75 patched so far), and security teams can now try the workflow through the new Claude Security public beta and an open vulnerability dashboard.
