Pentagon deploys Anthropic's Mythos to patch cyber gaps while planning to ditch firm

▤ Summary

The Pentagon is deploying Anthropic's Mythos model under a controlled "Project Glasswing" program to find and patch long-standing software vulnerabilities across U.S. government systems. Defense officials say Mythos speeds detection and remediation of vulnerabilities but also raises exploitation risks, prompting the department to harden networks. At the same time the DOD is executing a planned transition away from Anthropic after declaring it a supply-chain risk, and Anthropic has sued to challenge the blacklisting. Officials expect competing models from other AI vendors to catch up, making Anthropic's current advantage temporary.
