What is Anthropic's Project Glasswing?

Project Glasswing is Anthropic's initiative using Claude Mythos Preview to hunt zero-day vulnerabilities in major OSes and browsers, with credits for open-source fixes.

Will Claude Mythos replace security researchers?

Not fully — it excels at discovery but lacks human intuition for novel threats; attackers will use similar tech soon.

Is Project Glasswing safe for open-source?

It patches fast, but dual-use risks mean faster exploits too; coalition helps, but watch for fragmentation.
