April 22 - Microsoft ‌said on ​Wednesday ​it plans to embed advanced artificial intelligence models, including Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview, into ‌its secure coding framework, as the company steps ⁠up its cybersecurity capabilities.

Incorporating the models into Microsoft's Security Development ‌Lifecycle (SDL) will help identify ‌vulnerabilities and develop fixes faster, early on in the cycle, the Windows maker said in a blog.

Mythos, ​announced on April 7, has found "thousands" of major vulnerabilities in operating systems, web browsers and other ⁠software. Its capabilities to code at a high level have given ​it a potentially unprecedented ability to identify cybersecurity vulnerabilities and devise ways to exploit them, ​experts said.

Anthropic has said the ‌current iteration, Claude Mythos Preview, will be first deployed to a select group ⁠of companies as part of Anthropic's "Project Glasswing," a controlled initiative under which major technology companies, including Microsoft, Amazon.com and ⁠Apple, can use it to search for cybersecurity vulnerabilities.

Microsoft said ​it evaluated Mythos, using its own open-source benchmark for real-world detection engineering tasks, and the "results showed substantial improvements relative to ‌prior models."

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration, central bankers across the globe and industries are ‌racing to get up to speed on Mythos ⁠and its ability to ‌make complex cyberattacks ​both easier and quicker to crack.
