Indian Entities Gain Access to Anthropic's Mythos AI Platform

Project Glasswing Expansion: Indian Organisations Gain Access to Advanced AI Model

Indian government agencies and private sector firms have secured access to Anthropic's Mythos artificial intelligence model as part of the recent expansion of Project Glasswing, a collaborative effort aimed at strengthening cybersecurity. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that a select group of Indian organisations have been granted access to the model, although the exact number is in the single digit for now.

Anthropic's Project Glasswing is an initiative designed to secure the world's most important software by providing select organisations with access to Claude Mythos Preview, an advanced AI model that can identify software vulnerabilities. When the programme was announced globally in April, about 50 partners were granted access to the model initially, and Anthropic reported uncovering more than 10,000 high- or critical-severity security flaws across codebases.

The programme has recently undergone a major expansion, widening its ambit to about 150 additional organisations across more than 15 countries. The new cohort includes operators of critical infrastructure in sectors such as power, water, healthcare, communications, and hardware. These organisations are responsible for maintaining codebases that are relied upon by many other organisations around the world, including governments.

Anthropic has stated that partner organisations are those for which a successful cyberattack could have far-reaching ramifications, potentially affecting more than 100 million people in some cases. The access to the Mythos AI model is expected to enable participating organisations to detect security vulnerabilities in digital infrastructure, test defences, and accelerate patching of vulnerable software systems.

In a recent blog post, Anthropic urged leading artificial intelligence labs to consider moderating the pace of AI development, warning that increasingly capable systems could soon acquire the ability to accelerate their own progress in ways that outstrip human oversight and create broader societal risks. The company has called for the option to slow or temporarily pause frontier AI development to enable societal structures and alignment research to keep up with the advance of the technology.
