Anthropic's Mythos Preview LLM reportedly identifies and crafts sophisticated zero-day exploits (including chained browser exploits, local privilege escalations, and remote code execution) across major OSes and browsers. Anthropic has limited preview access and launched Project Glasswing with industry partners to use Mythos defensively, but security experts warn the capability could be misused if it proliferates, urging stronger detection, patching, and zero-trust measures.
