June 3, 2026 — 8:13amAustralian organisations will get access to the artificial intelligence model that Anthropic has deemed “too dangerous” for public release, as part of a staggered global rollout aimed at hardening critical systems against hackers.The San Francisco company on Wednesday morning said it had extended access to its Claude Mythos Preview model to about 150 new organisations across more than 15 countries, expanding a program known as Project Glasswing. The Financial Times reported access had been granted across the Five Eyes alliance, which includes Australia, along with NATO and the European Union’s cybersecurity agency.Anthropic has plans to broaden bank access to its Mythos cybersecurity tool.BloombergMythos has proven extraordinarily adept at finding software flaws that, in the wrong hands, could trigger catastrophic breaches. Anthropic has withheld it from general release, warning its cyber capabilities are dual-use and could enable attacks on financial systems and infrastructure.A spokeswoman confirmed Australian organisations would gain access but declined to name them. Anthropic has previously briefed Treasury, the Reserve Bank and stewards of critical infrastructure.David Swan is the technology editor for The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald.
