AI is currently being utilized to enhance software security.

Anthropic has introduced a new project named Project Glasswing, partnering with Apple. As part of Glasswing, Anthropic is providing a sneak peek of its recently launched Claude Mythos model to selected collaborators, including Apple.

Anthropic asserts that Mythos has identified “thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities” across “every major operating system and web browser.”

### Apple is included in Anthropic’s Project Glasswing cybersecurity initiative

Apple is featured among the leading technology firms as part of Anthropic’s Project Glasswing group.

> We are announcing Project Glasswing today, a new initiative uniting Amazon Web Services, Anthropic, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, JPMorganChase, the Linux Foundation, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Palo Alto Networks to secure the world’s most vital software.

Moreover, Anthropic mentions that over 40 more entities that “create or maintain critical software” have access to its Mythos Preview AI model. The objective is for these software companies to utilize Mythos to identify and resolve security vulnerabilities before the AI model is made publicly available.

### Claude Mythos has detected thousands of flaws in every major OS and browser

According to Anthropic, Claude Mythos has already been employed to uncover significant security weaknesses in every major operating system and web browser.

> Mythos Preview has identified thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities, including some within *every major operating system and web browser*. Considering the pace of AI advancements, it won’t be long before such capabilities become widespread, possibly even in the hands of those not committed to using them safely. The repercussions—for economies, public safety, and national security—could be considerable. Project Glasswing is an urgent effort to harness these capabilities for defensive ends.

In certain situations, these vulnerabilities have “withstood decades of human oversight and millions of automated security assessments,” the company claims.

For instance, it has identified and linked a cybersecurity vulnerability in the Linux kernel that could grant complete control over a machine.

Cybersecurity proficiency is merely one aspect of strength for the new Claude Mythos AI model. Anthropic’s latest model exhibits improvements over Claude Opus 4.6 in reasoning, agentic search and computer operation, especially in agentic coding.

Anthropic has released a [system card](https://www.anthropic.com/claude-mythos-preview-system-card) outlining the most recent benchmarks for Claude Mythos Preview.

### Availability

“We do not intend to make Claude Mythos Preview widely accessible,” Anthropic states, “but our ultimate aim is to allow our users to deploy Mythos-class models safely at scale—for cybersecurity applications, as well as for the numerous other advantages such highly capable models will offer.”

### Artemis II: A New Chapter in Lunar Exploration

After more than 50 years, humans have once again been sent to orbit the moon. On April 1st, NASA initiated Artemis II, transporting four astronauts on a mission to circle the moon and set the stage for upcoming lunar landings. This endeavor signifies an important achievement in space exploration, as it strives to create a sustainable human footprint on the moon and lay the groundwork for future missions to Mars.

#### Incredible Imagery from Artemis II

As Artemis II advances, NASA has already reached the moon’s far side, capturing stunning visuals. Some of these photos have even been taken with an iPhone, highlighting the adaptability of contemporary technology in space exploration. NASA has shared high-resolution pictures on their Flickr page, enabling enthusiasts and the general public to witness the marvels of lunar exploration.

#### Accessing Artemis II Images

To simplify the process of accessing these remarkable images, Stephen Robles, a prominent Apple aficionado and Shortcuts expert, has developed a shortcut that allows users to download high-quality images straight from NASA’s Flickr page. The setup is quite simple:

1. Click on Stephen’s shortcut link in his tweet or [click here](http://shortcut.bot/artemisii).
2. You will be taken to an iCloud page; tap “Get Shortcut” at the bottom.
3. This will launch your Shortcuts app and add the Artemis II Images shortcut to your library.

#### Using the Shortcut

To execute the shortcut and download images:

– Tap on the “Artemis II Images” shortcut.
– Wait for it to load (this may take about a minute while it gathers the images).
– A pop-up will display all available images.
– Choose the images you wish to download.
– Tap “Select” to save them to your photo library.

The method is crafted to be intuitive, allowing you to opt for either a list view or an image view for selecting your preferred photos.

#### Compatibility

The shortcut has been verified on a Mac but is also compatible with iPads and iPhones, making it accessible for a diverse array of Apple device users. This clever approach offers an enjoyable way to collect and appreciate the remarkable images captured during the Artemis II mission.

As we persist in our exploration of the moon and beyond, projects like Artemis II not only broaden our comprehension of space but also invite the public to share in the thrill of exploration. For those fascinated by the convergence of technology and space, this shortcut presents a unique opportunity to connect with the ongoing saga of lunar exploration.
