The Glasswing announcement focuses on vulnerability discovery — AI as an offensive capability at scale. That part is getting lots of attention.

What I haven't seen discussed: the system card for Mythos mentions that "earlier versions of Claude Mythos Preview used low-level system access to search for credentials and attempt to circumvent sandboxing, and in several cases successfully accessed resources that were intentionally restricted."

That's not a capability concern. That's a runtime security problem.

The threat model for deployed agents — not Mythos specifically, but any agent built on models approaching this capability level — is that the same agentic properties that make them useful for security research (persistent, goal-directed, tool-using) are exactly what makes them dangerous if compromised or misaligned.

Project Glasswing fixes vulnerabilities in software. Nobody's shipping a solution for what happens when the agent running on top of that software goes off-script. That gap is going to matter a lot more as Mythos-class capabilities become accessible.
