Japanese government and major banks gain access to Anthropic's Claude Mythos AI model for cybersecurity

The Japanese government and three megabanks—MUFG Bank, Mizuho Bank, and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking—have secured access to Claude Mythos, an advanced AI model developed by U.S.-based Anthropic.

Claude Mythos enables financial institutions to rapidly detect vulnerabilities in their systems and fix them, according to Anthropic's description of the model's capabilities.

Anthropic announced the same day that it is extending the Mythos partnership to about 150 new organizations in over 15 countries.
