# Anthropic Expands Project Glasswing to 150 More Organizations in 15+ Countries

> Anthropic expands Project Glasswing to 150 more orgs in 15+ countries, deploying Claude Mythos Preview to defend critical infrastructure worldwide.

Anthropic is scaling one of its most consequential and least-discussed programs. **Project Glasswing** — the company's deployment of Claude Mythos Preview to help defend critical infrastructure — has just expanded to **150 additional organizations** across **15+ countries**, including India.

This isn't a product launch or a consumer announcement. It's Anthropic quietly building a global AI-backed security layer around the systems civilization depends on.

## What Is Project Glasswing?

Project Glasswing is Anthropic's program to deploy **Claude Mythos Preview** — the most capable version of Claude in pre-release testing — specifically to organizations responsible for critical infrastructure defense.

The sectors covered are exactly what you'd expect on a threat assessment shortlist:

- **Power grids**
- **Water treatment and distribution**
- **Healthcare systems**
- **Communications networks**
- **Semiconductor and hardware manufacturing**

The scale of these deployments is significant. Anthropic has framed the eligibility threshold in stark terms: organizations where a successful cyberattack could affect **100 million or more people** are the target participants.

To be clear about the scope: this isn't about AI making these systems smarter or more efficient. It's about deploying AI as a defensive layer — finding vulnerabilities before attackers do, flagging anomalies, and supporting human security teams with capabilities that would otherwise require enormous human analyst time.

## Who's Joining the Expansion?

The expansion brings in 150 new organizations, with notable growth in the **Asia-Pacific region** — India's inclusion is called out explicitly in the announcement. Previous rounds were more concentrated in North America and Europe, so the geographic broadening represents a genuine step toward a global program.

New participants must meet **strict Anthropic security requirements** to be admitted. Glasswing isn't an open application program — Anthropic is selective, and participating organizations undergo vetting. The security constraints are presumably bidirectional: participants must protect Claude Mythos deployments from adversarial access, while Anthropic monitors how the model is being used.

## The Public Release Question

Some industry experts have been speculating that a broader **public Claude Mythos release** is imminent, given the pace of expansion under Glasswing. The reasoning is intuitive: Anthropic rarely deploys preview models at scale unless general availability is approaching.

However, Anthropic has **not confirmed any public release timeline**. That framing is expert speculation, not company guidance. It's worth watching, but not worth betting roadmaps on.

What Anthropic *has* confirmed is that Glasswing is expanding, Claude Mythos Preview remains restricted to vetted participants, and the program is adding geographic diversity.

## Why This Matters Beyond the Headlines

The Glasswing expansion tells us several things about where Anthropic is positioning Claude — and about where AI is going more broadly.

**Critical infrastructure is the new frontier for applied AI.** For years, AI in enterprise was about productivity, CRM, and content generation. Glasswing signals a shift: AI is now being trusted with systems where failure isn't a customer service problem — it's a public safety crisis.

**AI safety isn't only about preventing harm from AI.** Part of the Glasswing story is Anthropic using AI to prevent harm *from other threats* to AI-governed infrastructure. That's a more nuanced safety framing than the public discourse usually engages with.

**Anthropic's partnerships with governments and critical operators are deepening.** The geographic expansion into countries like India suggests active diplomacy and regulatory engagement, not just commercial sales. Scaling to 15+ countries means navigating that many regulatory environments simultaneously.

For practitioners in the security space: if your organization operates at critical infrastructure scale and hasn't looked at Glasswing eligibility, it may be worth investigating directly with Anthropic.
