What is Anthropic's Project Glasswing?

Project Glasswing is Anthropic's initiative using Claude Mythos Preview to hunt zero-day vulnerabilities in major OSes, browsers, and open-source software—autonomously finding and chaining bugs humans missed for decades.

Will Project Glasswing replace human security researchers?

Not fully—yet. It crushes benchmarks, but humans still needed for context, ethics, novel threats. Expect hybrid teams: AI scouts, humans strategize.

How does Claude Mythos find zero-days better than fuzzers?

Mythos combines deep code reasoning, multi-step planning, and semantic understanding—fuzzers just throw inputs blindly, missing logic flaws.

Can attackers use Glasswing-like AI?

Absolutely. Same agentic skills build or break. Anthropic warns: defense today, offense inevitable without safeguards.
