Expanding Project Glasswing
AI bug-hunt goes bigger, but commenters smell secrecy, hype, and chaos ahead
TLDR: Project Glasswing is expanding AI-powered software scanning to about 150 more high-stakes organizations, after already finding over 10,000 serious flaws. Commenters are split between seeing a vital safety push and calling it a secretive, hype-heavy power move for big players.
A major AI security project just got a lot bigger: Project Glasswing is expanding from about 50 partners to roughly 200 total organizations, including groups tied to power, water, healthcare, communications, and hardware. The company says its AI has already helped partners uncover more than 10,000 serious software flaws, and now it wants to put those tools in the hands of more critical institutions before even more powerful AI-driven attacks arrive. Very noble, very urgent, very save-the-world. But in the comments, people were less impressed by the victory lap and more obsessed with the mystery, the money, and the what-could-possibly-go-wrong factor.
The biggest side-eye came from readers wondering why the new 150 partners weren’t named. One commenter guessed the quiet list might be to avoid painting a giant target on those organizations, while others saw something more cynical: a VIP velvet-rope rollout for giant corporations dressed up as public service. Another spicy thread argued the company may simply be buying time and locking in big customers before rivals catch up. Then came the doomers, who basically said: cool, you found software bugs, but what about AI that sweet-talks its way past humans next year? And of course, no internet debate is complete without a roast: one deadpan reply sneered, “Thanks for your input Claude,” turning the thread into a mini meme about whether defenders, critics, and maybe even the bots themselves are all talking at once. Classic comment-section chaos.
Key Points
- •Project Glasswing’s initial roughly 50 partners used Claude Mythos Preview to find more than 10,000 high- or critical-severity software vulnerabilities.
- •The program is expanding to about 150 additional organizations that must meet security requirements before gaining access.
- •The new organizations are based in more than 15 countries and include sectors such as power, water, healthcare, communications, and hardware.
- •Many new partners are vendors or nonprofits maintaining codebases used by large numbers of organizations and governments worldwide.
- •The article says the company is releasing its vulnerability-finding tools on request to trusted security teams and has created Claude Security to scan codebases and suggest patches.
