About Anthropic Claude Mythos
Anthropic officially announced the restricted preview of its next-generation flagship model, Claude Mythos, on April 7, 2026. This highly capable large language model (LLM) is not generally available to the public due to its advanced cybersecurity capabilities and potential risks. The preview, known as "Project Glasswing," is limited to a select group of "critical industry partners and open source developers" for defensive cybersecurity work. This initiative includes a coalition of 12 launch partners and over 40 additional organizations. Claude Mythos is touted as Anthropic's most powerful frontier model, demonstrating significant advancements in areas such as software engineering, reasoning, and computer use. Notably, it exhibits exceptional cybersecurity skills, including the ability to identify and exploit zero-day vulnerabilities and reverse-engineer exploits. During testing, the model achieved a 100% success rate on the Cybench cybersecurity challenges. While some speculation prior to its announcement suggested a possible May 2026 release or related activity, the official restricted preview began in April 2026.
