Anthropic plans to roll out the Mythos AI model to more than 15 countries and 150 institutions worldwide. At present, the model has only been deployed in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Anthropic said on the 2nd, local time, that it will expand Project Glasswing to companies and institutions in more than 15 countries. Project Glasswing is an initiative that uses Mythos to identify and fix security vulnerabilities.
The expansion of Mythos deployment was announced one day after Anthropic privately filed for an initial public offering (IPO) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The Financial Times (FT), citing sources, reported that the additional deployment countries include the Five Eyes intelligence alliance of Canada, Australia and New Zealand, as well as France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Sweden, India, Japan and South Korea.
U.S. tech company Okta, along with Samsung Electronics, SK hynix and SK Telecom, was also included among the companies that can access Mythos.
According to the sources, NATO, headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, can also access Mythos, along with ENISA, the European Union's cybersecurity agency.
Anthropic explained that the institutions newly allowed to access Mythos are key infrastructure organizations in financial services, cybersecurity and technology. It added that some industries not included in the initial rollout, such as power, water supply, healthcare, telecommunications and hardware, have also been added.
Without naming the companies, Anthropic said the new partners are companies or nonprofit organizations linked to governments and many other institutions around the world. Their common trait, it said, is that a breach of their codebase could have catastrophic consequences.
Anthropic unveiled the Claude Mythos preview in April, but initially allowed access only to about 50 major U.S. companies. The company was concerned that Mythos's advanced coding capabilities could be used for hacking.
Anthropic also worked closely with the U.S. federal government. Officials in the Donald Trump administration found through Mythos that existing cybersecurity systems could be easily breached.
Since Mythos was made public, banks, regulators and governments around the world outside the United States have been on edge. They have demanded access to Mythos or explanations of the flaws it uncovered.
The only institution known to have had access outside the United States was the AI Security Institute (AISI), a British government research body for advanced AI models. In April, AISI said Mythos was capable of carrying out sophisticated cyberattacks that would take human experts days to complete.
