Europe’s cybersecurity agency is sitting down with Anthropic on Thursday to talk about getting access to one of the company’s most advanced AI models, one specifically designed to find and exploit software vulnerabilities. The European Commission confirmed the meeting, which caps off months of back-channel discussions between Brussels and the AI company.
The meeting between the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) and Anthropic is taking place in San Francisco on June 18. It follows at least four to five prior discussions that have been ongoing since April 2026, according to the Commission.
What the EU is after
At the center of this conversation is Anthropic’s AI model known as Mythos. Access to Mythos isn’t open to just anyone. Anthropic gates it through a controlled initiative called Project Glasswing, which is designed specifically for cybersecurity vulnerability research.
That’s exactly what ENISA has been trying to do. As of early June, the agency had not yet secured active access to Mythos, with negotiations over terms and safeguards still ongoing. Commission spokesperson Thomas Regnier confirmed that there had been “several productive meetings” with Anthropic leading up to this session.
