Anthropic built an AI model so capable at finding software vulnerabilities that it decided not to sell it. Claude Mythos Preview, announced on April 7, autonomously discovered thousands of previously unknown security flaws in every major operating system and web browser — including a remote crash bug in OpenBSD that had gone undetected since 1999. Rather than offering the model commercially, Anthropic restricted access to 12 major technology companies through Project Glasswing, backed by $100 million in usage credits. On April 16, Anthropic separately released Claude Opus 4.7 — its most capable publicly available model — explicitly positioned as its strongest model cleared for wide deployment, with Mythos remaining off-limits.

Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview, which the company says discovered thousands of previously unknown vulnerabilities in every major operating system and web browser, prompted the US Treasury and Federal Reserve to summon Wall Street chief executives to Washington on April 8. By April 11, the Bank of England, the Bank of Canada, and their respective financial regulators had convened or scheduled their own emergency sessions with banks.
