An AI model that can find software flaws no human has caught in nearly three decades has triggered a coordinated response from central banks across the Western world. Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview discovered thousands of previously unknown vulnerabilities in every major operating system and web browser, prompting Treasury and Federal Reserve to summon Wall Street executives to Washington on April 8. By April 11, the Bank of England, Bank of Canada, and their respective financial regulators had convened or scheduled their own emergency sessions with banks.

Rather than offering the model commercially, Anthropic restricted access to 12 major technology companies through Project Glasswing, backed by $100 million in usage credits.
