Launches Project

• Anthropic PBC ha annunciato martedì il Project Glasswing, concedendo ad Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Cisco e altri l'accesso al suo modello Mythos AI non ancora rilasciato per identificare falle nei prodotti prima di un lancio più ampio. • L'iniziativa mira a mitigare i potenziali cyberattacchi provenienti da sistemi AI avanzati, richiedendo ai partecipanti di condividere le scoperte con i colleghi del settore. • Ciò riflette la crescente cautela dell'industria riguardo ai rischi informatici dei modelli AI potenti, segnando una collaborazione proattiva tra le principali aziende tecnologiche.

• President Trump directed U.S. Central Command to initiate Project Freedom, a defensive operation to restart free flow of commerce through the Strait of Hormuz amid Iranian threats to commercial shipping. • Secretary of War Pete Hegseth clarified the mission is temporary, focused solely on protecting innocent vessels, distinct from Operation Epic Fury, with U.S. forces establishing a protective zone as shown on operational maps. • The announcement follows President Trump's notification to Congress on Friday that hostilities starting February 28 had terminated, coinciding with the 60-day War Powers Resolution deadline.

• Anthropic announced Project Glasswing, a collaborative initiative involving Amazon Web Services, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, JPMorganChase, the Linux Foundation, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Palo Alto Networks to secure critical software infrastructure. • The initiative provides select firms access to Claude Mythos2 preview model for defensive cybersecurity work, which has reportedly identified thousands of severe vulnerabilities in major operating systems and browsers. • The program aims to give defenders a durable advantage in the AI-driven cybersecurity era while controlling access to prevent misuse by attackers.

• Anthropic announced Project Glasswing, a cybersecurity initiative bringing together AWS, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Palo Alto Networks to identify and fix software vulnerabilities using its Claude Mythos Preview model. • The Claude Mythos Preview model achieves 93.9% accuracy on SWE-bench Verified, significantly outperforming Opus 4.6's 80.8%, and demonstrated the ability to find thousands of hidden bugs in critical systems. • Anthropic is committing up to $100 million in usage credits for Project Glasswing, plus $4 million in direct donations to open-source security organizations to strengthen cybersecurity infrastructure.

America Makes and the National Center for Defense Manufacturing and Machining announced two project calls totaling over $35 million on March 5, 2026, funded by the U.S. Department of Defense to advance manufacturing technologies. The 2026 DOD OIB Modernization Challenge covers nine topics including AI Robotic Process Planning, Real-Time Manufacturing Sensors for Robotics, and In-Situ Quality Checks, aiming to reduce technical risks and enable transition pathways for defense applications. Proposals are due by April 2, 2026, for the OIB Challenge and April 29 for JAQS-SQ Groups 2 & 3, with kickoff webinars held on March 10 and 12. This funding supports U.S. industrial base resilience amid rising geopolitical tensions.
