April 7 (Reuters) - Anthropic on Tuesday announced an initiative with major technology companies, including Amazon.com, Microsoft and Apple, that lets partners preview an advanced model with cybersecurity capabilities developed by the AI startup.

Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks and others will use the model as part of a new cybersecurity initiative called Project Glasswing.

Anthropic and a number of other companies reveal Project Glasswing - which is so powerful, it won't be released publicly.

Anthropic launched Project Glasswing, a $100 million AI cybersecurity initiative using its unreleased Claude Mythos Preview model to find and patch zero-day vulnerabilities across critical infrastructure before attackers can exploit them.

The new AI model is being heralded—and feared—as a hacker’s superweapon. Experts say its arrival is a wake-up call for developers who have long made security an afterthought.

Anthropic has announced an initiative with ⁠major technology ⁠companies, including Amazon.com, Microsoft and Apple, that lets partners preview an advanced model with cyber security capabilities developed by the AI startup.

Anthropic’s Project Glasswing unites major tech rivals to use Claude Mythos Preview to find and fix critical software vulnerabilities before attackers do.

Cybersecurity firms CrowdStrike ( CRWD) and Palo Alto Networks ( PANW) are poised to help security evolve to meet the heightened threats spawning from artificial intelligence models. CrowdStrike had jumped 5%, and Palo Alto was up 4% during morning market action on Wednesday.

Anthropic's Project Glasswing is their latest initiative to improve cybersecurity using AI in partnership with the likes of Apple.

Anthropic announced on Tuesday that it will be providing access to its unreleased Claude Mythos model to more than 40 organizations, including Apple, JPMorgan Chase and the Linux Foundation, so they can test their software for security vulnerabilities.
