Artificial intelligence company Anthropic is expanding access to its powerful cybersecurity AI model, Mythos, opening the technology to more than 150 organisations worldwide.
The expansion is being carried out through Project Glasswing, an initiative designed to identify and fix security vulnerabilities. Until now, access to the model had been largely restricted to a small group of organisations in the United States and the United Kingdom.

As part of the expansion, companies and institutions across more than 15 countries will gain access to the powerful cybersecurity software. The expansion will extend Mythos access to countries in the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, including Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
It will also be rolled out to France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Sweden, India, Japan and South Korea, according to a person familiar with the matter told The Financial Times.
The rollout comes at a time when governments and businesses are looking to AI tools to strengthen their cybersecurity capabilities.
Major companies and institutions included
Several prominent companies are among the new organisations receiving access to Mythos. These include US tech group Okta as well as South Korean technology companies Samsung, SK Hynix, and SK Telecom.
The initiative has also attracted major public-sector organisations. NATO and the European Union's cyber security agency, Enisa, are among the institutions that have reportedly joined the programme.
Mythos is attracting attention
Anthropic introduced Claude Mythos Preview in April this year, initially making it available to around 50 US largely US companies. According to the company, the restricted rollout was due to the model’s advanced coding capabilities and concerns that it could be misused for hacking.
The company has also collaborated closely with the US Government on the rollout of the model. Officials in the Trump administration have reviewed its ability to detect cybersecurity vulnerabilities and potential exploits in IT systems.
Its release raised concerns among organisations outside the US, including banks, regulators and governments worldwide. Many of these groups sought access to Mythos or requested briefings from Anthropic on the model’s findings.
Protecting critical infrastructure
In a blog post, Anthropic said the new organisations getting access to Mythos are involved in critical sectors such as finance, cybersecurity and technology. The company also expanded the programme to include industries that were less represented earlier, including power, water, healthcare, communications and hardware.
While it did not reveal the names of the participants, Anthropic said some partners manage software and systems that are widely used by organisations around the world.
“What each partner has in common is that a successful attack on their codebase could be catastrophic. For most partners, we estimate that a major attack could affect more than 100 million people, with important ramifications for both global and national security,” the company said.

partners, the security industry, open-source software maintainers, and the US Government, we’re extending the partnership to approximately 150 new organisations,” the company said in a blog post.
