The news: Anthropic is expanding its Mythos cybersecurity program to about 200 organisations, up from roughly 50, across more than 15 countries, the company said.
New partners include countries in the Five Eyes intelligence alliance including Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK, as well as others including France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Sweden, India, Japan and South Korea, The Financial Times reported, citing a person familiar with the matter
Those joining Project Glasswing, which Anthropic did not name, span healthcare, power, water, communications and hardware industries, the company said.
The FT also reported that Nato and the EU’s cybersecurity agency Enisa have been granted access, along with tech companies Okta, Samsung, SK Hynix and SK Telecom.
Anthropic said it collaborated with existing Glasswing partners, the security industry, open-source software maintainers and the US government on the expansion. It added that many of the new partners are vendor companies and nonprofits that maintain codebases relied upon by other organisations, including governments.
Partners have so far identified more than 10,000 security flaws rated highly or critically severe, Anthropic said, adding that a major attack on partner organisations could affect more than 100 million people.
Anthropic said it expects other AI companies to have comparable models within six to 12 months.
The context: The expansion comes a day after Anthropic confidentially filed for an IPO, itself following a USD65 billion funding round that valued the company at USD965 billion.
Separately, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday directing US agencies to secure voluntary agreements with AI developers to test powerful models up to 30 days before public release. The order is a scaled-back version of one Trump shelved on 21 May, which had proposed a review period of up to 90 days, according to The Wall Street Journal
