On April 7, 2026, Anthropic introduced Claude Mythos Preview alongside Project Glasswing, a coordinated security initiative with partners including AWS, Apple, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, JPMorganChase, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Palo Alto Networks, and the Linux Foundation. The announcement matters because Anthropic is not pitching Mythos as a slightly better chatbot. It is describing a frontier model that can materially change how vulnerabilities are found, validated, and in some cases exploited.
That naturally leads to a harder question: is Claude Mythos dangerous?
