Anthropic expanding Mythos AI model access to India: Report

Claude-maker Anthropic said it will provide access to its powerful Mythos model to companies and institutions in more than 15 countries, including India, the Financial Times reported.

Anthropic had announced on Tuesday that it gave approximately 150 organisations around the world access to its AI model Mythos, whose ability to rapidly identify weaknesses in computer security has sparked global concern about vulnerabilities.

Mythos access is expanding to Canada, Australia and New Zealand, which are in the Five Eyes intelligence alliance (with the US and the UK), along with France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Sweden, India, Japan, and South Korea, the report stated, citing sources.

Mythos access now also covers US tech company Okta, South Korea's Samsung, SK Hynix, and SK Telecom, as well as financial groups Euroclear, NYSE owner ICE, and Swift. NATO and the EU’s cybersecurity agency Enisa have also been added, the report said.

At first, only around 50 partners — mostly US companies — were brought into the programme, called Project Glasswing, to test the model's powers before it could be weaponised by hackers.

Among them were major tech companies, including Amazon, Google, Nvidia, Apple and Microsoft, along with cybersecurity providers CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks.

By late May, those early partners had already used Mythos to uncover more than 10,000 serious security weaknesses that hackers could exploit to cause real damage.
