Anthropic Unveils Advanced Cybersecurity AI Through Project Glasswing

Anthropic has introduced Claude Mythos Preview, an artificial intelligence model designed to identify vulnerabilities in software. The release forms part of the company’s Project Glasswing initiative, focused on strengthening cybersecurity as threats continue to evolve.

Innovative Cyber Capabilities

Claude Mythos Preview identifies complex software flaws that are often difficult to detect using traditional methods. In one case, the model uncovered a 27-year-old vulnerability in OpenBSD, an operating system widely known for its security standards. Access to the model is currently restricted. Anthropic said the limitation is intended to reduce the risk of misuse and ensure the technology is applied in defensive contexts.

Strategic Industry Collaborations

Major technology companies, including Apple, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia and Amazon Web Services, joined as early partners in Project Glasswing. More than 40 additional companies, including CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks, are working with Anthropic to integrate the model into their cybersecurity systems.

Balancing Innovation With Caution

Dianne Penn said in a CNBC interview that the launch followed an extensive internal review. The company is also working with U.S. agencies, including the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the Center for AI Standards and Innovation, to align deployment with safety requirements. Dario Amodei said the company is focused on balancing defensive benefits with potential risks linked to advanced AI systems.

Expanding AI Infrastructure Security

Anthropic has allocated up to $100 million in usage credits for selected partners. The programme is aimed at testing the model across proprietary and open-source systems. Early access is focused on companies managing critical infrastructure, as Anthropic evaluates broader deployment scenarios.

Outlook

Project Glasswing reflects a shift toward AI-driven cybersecurity tools designed to identify vulnerabilities earlier in the development cycle. Adoption will depend on how effectively companies balance improved detection capabilities with the risks associated with advanced AI systems.

Google Sets New Android App Rules To Cut Memory Use

Google is introducing new quality requirements for Android apps as developers face tighter constraints on device memory and broader hardware supply pressures.

The company announced two new requirements this week. One focuses on reducing apps’ memory use and improving code efficiency, while the other requires apps to restore users’ sign-in status when they move to a new Android device.

Google Sets New Memory Performance Rules

Google said the mobile industry is facing “significant hardware supply constraints that are altering device memory availability,” which could affect app performance and the user experience.

Under the new rules, developers will need to meet thresholds covering areas including dynamic memory and bitmap usage. Additional code optimisation requirements are designed to reduce slowdowns and crashes linked to excessive resource use.

Google is also rolling out tools that alert developers when their apps exceed the new limits. More diagnostic features are planned later this year, including deeper analysis through Android’s Memory Limiter, which restricts excessive memory use.

Developers have until February 2027 to comply with the new standards, according to Google’s Android Developer documentation.

Zero-Tap Sign-In Requirement Starts In 2027

A separate requirement will apply to all apps distributed through Google Play. By April 2027, apps that use optional or mandatory sign-ins must automatically restore a user’s sign-in state when they move between Android devices.

The feature will rely on Android’s Restore Credentials API, which is designed to transfer sign-in credentials during device migration without requiring users to log in again.

Google said the new standards are intended to help developers maintain app performance and simplify device transitions as device specifications and memory availability change.
