Anthropic announced the limited release of Claude Mythos Preview, an AI model that can autonomously discover software flaws and generate working exploits. The company has placed the model in the hands of a select group of tech giants—including Microsoft, Apple, Google, and the Linux Foundation—through a consortium called Project Glasswing. Security experts say the system could dramatically lower the skill bar for creating multi‑stage exploit chains, prompting a reassessment of how organizations develop, patch, and defend software. Government officials are already discussing the potential fallout, underscoring the model’s far‑reaching implications. Read more

Anthropic has rolled out Claude Mythos Preview, a new AI model under the Project Glasswing initiative, to a handful of defensive‑security partners. The model, which the company says can identify high‑severity vulnerabilities across major operating systems and browsers without human guidance, will initially be available only to firms like JPMorgan Chase, Cisco and the Linux Foundation. Anthropic is backing the launch with up to $100 million in usage credits and a $4 million donation to open‑source foundations, while also holding preliminary talks with U.S. officials about its offensive and defensive capabilities.

Anthropic has broadened Claude's capabilities by adding native integrations with a range of third‑party applications, including Canva, Slack, Box, Asana, and Figma. The new connections let users fetch files, preview documents, and transform chat discussions into actionable tasks directly within those platforms. Powered by the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which Anthropic released in fall 2024 and later donated to the Linux Foundation, the integrations have already been adopted by nine launch partners and are also being used by OpenAI.

Leading artificial‑intelligence firms including Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and Block are co‑operating around the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a framework that lets AI agents access external tools and data in a uniform way. Anthropic has donated MCP to the Linux Foundation, positioning it as an open‑source standard overseen by a neutral body. The collaboration aims to simplify integration, improve agent performance, and address security concerns, while laying groundwork for a marketplace of AI‑compatible services. Read more

Major AI players including Anthropic, OpenAI and Block have joined forces with the Linux Foundation to launch the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF). The new nonprofit aims to establish common standards for AI agents, centering on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) – dubbed a “USB‑C port for AI.” By creating a shared framework, the coalition hopes to simplify integration of AI models with data sources, accelerate interoperability, and spur broader adoption of agentic AI across products and services.

The Linux Foundation has created the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF), a neutral hub for open‑source AI‑agent projects. Anthropic, Block and OpenAI are anchoring the effort with donations of key technologies: Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), Block’s Goose agent framework, and OpenAI’s AGENTS.md instruction file. The group aims to prevent a fragmented landscape of proprietary AI agents by fostering interoperability, shared safety patterns, and industry‑wide standards. Major members such as AWS, Bloomberg, Cloudflare and Google have joined, signaling broad support for an open, mix‑and‑match approach to AI‑agent development. Read more
