News Briefing: Cyber National Defense in the AI Era, Launch of ‘Project Glasswing’
1. The Background of an Unprecedented Big Tech Alliance in History
Anthropic announced ‘Project Glasswing’ today to defend the most important software in the world.This project includes truly massive companies just by hearing their names, such as AWS, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, JPMorgan Chase, the Linux Foundation, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Palo Alto Networks.The single reason they united is the overwhelming and fearsome hacking and defense capabilities of ‘Claude Mythos Preview’, an unreleased latest AI model developed by Anthropic.Mythos Preview has already surpassed the software vulnerability discovery and exploit capabilities that only a very few experts among humans could perform.In fact, it demonstrated the monstrous power of instantly finding thousands of high-risk vulnerabilities in all major operating systems (OS) and web browsers.The core point of this alliance is that defenders united to use AI as a weapon before such technology falls into the hands of malicious hackers.
2. The Reality of Cybercrime Threatening the Global Economy and Infrastructure
The banking systems, hospital medical records, logistics networks, and power grids we use every day all run on software.However, hidden bugs have always existed here, and hackers have targeted these to attempt ransomware attacks or data theft.Currently, the economic loss caused by cybercrime amounts to about 500 billion dollars annually, acting as a severe global economic risk.In the past, finding such vulnerabilities required a high level of expert knowledge, but now, thanks to powerful AI models, the barriers of cost, time, and effort for hacking have been dramatically lowered.Not only state-sponsored hackers from countries like China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia, but even individual hackers have been able to possess immense destructive power.Therefore, for sustainable growth in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, building a preemptive defense system utilizing AI has become the top priority for national security and corporate survival.
3. Shocking Zero-Day Vulnerabilities Discovered by Claude Mythos Preview
Anthropic tested Mythos Preview over the past few weeks and found thousands of new vulnerabilities (zero-days).The surprising thing is that the AI analyzed the code by itself without human instruction, almost perfectly autonomously finding vulnerabilities and designing attack methods.Let’s look at three representative cases.First, it found a vulnerability that had been hidden for a whopping 27 years in OpenBSD, known as one of the most secure operating systems in the world, and figured out how to remotely bring down the system.Second, it discovered a vulnerability that had existed for 16 years in the FFmpeg code used in numerous video software worldwide, which existing automated testing tools missed even after inspecting it 5 million times.Third, it autonomously found multiple vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel, which runs most of the servers worldwide, and demonstrated a hacking technique that takes over the entire control of the system by a regular user by chaining them together.Currently, all these vulnerabilities have been reported to the respective software maintainers and the patches have been completed.
4. Overwhelming Benchmark Performance Figures
The capabilities of Mythos Preview are also proven by numbers.In CyberGym, a cybersecurity vulnerability reproduction test, the previous top model Opus 4.6 recorded 66.6%, whereas Mythos Preview achieved an overwhelming score of 83.1%.In the SWE-bench Verified test, which evaluates complex software engineering capabilities, it recorded 93.9%, effectively showing coding abilities at the highest human level.In Terminal-Bench 2.0, which measures working capabilities in a terminal environment, it achieved 82.0%, far exceeding Opus 4.6’s 65.4%.These figures clearly show that the latest artificial intelligence trend has evolved beyond simple conversational AI to an ‘Agentic’ level that autonomously finds and solves problems.
5. Future Plans and Massive Investment of Project Glasswing
To support this massive project, Anthropic is providing $100 million worth of free usage credits for the Mythos Preview model to participating organizations.In addition, they decided to directly donate a total of $4 million to strengthen open-source security, including $2.5 million to the Linux Foundation (Alpha-Omega, OpenSSF) and $1.5 million to the Apache Software Foundation.Currently, they are expanding access to over 40 core infrastructure maintenance organizations, helping them scan their systems and increase their defensive capabilities.After the research preview period ends, it will be provided on a limited basis through AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Foundry at a cost of $25 per 1 million input tokens and $125 per 1 million output tokens.Anthropic plans to publicly disclose the lessons learned and the patched vulnerability information obtained through this project within 90 days, and is actively collaborating with US government agencies to create national security-level guidelines.
🔥 [Exclusive Insight] The Most Important Key Takeaways Not Mentioned Anywhere Else
1. ‘Time-to-Exploit’ Converges to Zero
As the CTO of CrowdStrike mentioned, in the past, it took months after a new vulnerability was discovered for hackers to weaponize it.But now, with the emergence of AI, that time has been compressed into ‘minutes’.This means that a system can already be taken over before a company even realizes it has been hacked.Therefore, the traditional security method of building defensive walls is over, and an ‘active AI defense system’ that autonomously finds and patches vulnerabilities ahead of hackers using AI has become the only survival strategy.This paradigm shift suggests that the combination of cybersecurity and AI infrastructure will become the top priority consideration in future Big Tech investment strategies.
2. Salvation of the Open-Source Ecosystem: Cutting-Edge Weapons Handed to ‘Poor Maintainers’
Almost all IT systems we know (including AI itself) are based on ‘open-source software’ provided for free.However, the people managing this open source were mostly volunteers or underfunded small teams, so they could not operate a security team at the level of a large corporation.The greatest aspect of this Project Glasswing is that it provides over $100 million in AI resources for free to these ‘penniless’ open-source maintainers to strengthen the ecosystem from its roots.Ultimately, Anthropic accurately pointed out that the core point of the global supply chain reorganization lies not only in the relocation of physical factories but also in securing the safety of this invisible software supply chain.
3. What the Alliance of Competitors Means (The Flapping Wings of a Transparent Butterfly)
It is highly unusual for Apple, Google, Microsoft, and AWS to sit at one table and participate in the same project.This is proof that the security threat AI will bring is so serious that it transcends individual companies’ market share battles and could cause the collapse of digital civilization itself.The project name ‘Glasswing’ refers to a butterfly with transparent wings.It embodies the philosophy that revealing and fixing weaknesses, which are vulnerabilities, through transparency is the strongest survival method and defense shield.In the future, companies that transparently collaborate with the ecosystem like this, rather than sticking to proprietary security technologies, will gain market trust and seize the leadership.
< Summary >
Anthropic’s announcement of ‘Project Glasswing’ this time is not simply news of launching an outstanding AI model.It is a historical event where global Big Techs like Apple, Google, and MS formed an unprecedented security alliance, spearheaded by the AI ‘Claude Mythos Preview’ equipped with hacking defense capabilities that surpass the highest human level.A massive investment of over $100 million is being executed to protect the open-source ecosystem and critical infrastructure, and the ‘AI-driven active defense era’, which finds system weaknesses before hackers do, has raised its curtain.This will become the most powerful and important momentum that will completely change the paradigm of the global economy and IT technology market in the future.
