Anthropic Launches AI Cybersecurity Initiative With Big Tech Partners

Anthropic has unveiled a new cybersecurity initiative, “Project Glasswing,” in collaboration with major technology firms including Amazon, Microsoft and Apple.

The program provides selected partners with early access to an advanced AI model, “Claude Mythos Preview,” designed for defensive cybersecurity applications. Additional collaborators include CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, Google and Nvidia.

Anthropic stated that the model has already identified thousands of critical vulnerabilities across operating systems, browsers and other software, demonstrating its potential as a tool for proactive threat detection and mitigation.

The initiative emerges amid growing concerns over AI-driven cyberattacks. Industry discussions, including those at recent cybersecurity conferences, have increasingly focused on whether traditional security tools can keep pace with AI-enabled threats.

Under Project Glasswing, partner organizations will deploy the model in controlled environments to strengthen defensive capabilities. Anthropic also plans to share findings across the industry to improve overall cybersecurity resilience.

The company is extending access to around 40 additional organizations responsible for critical infrastructure and has committed up to $100 million in usage credits, along with $4 million in funding for open-source security initiatives.

Anthropic confirmed ongoing discussions with U.S. government agencies regarding the model’s capabilities and risk profile, reflecting heightened regulatory and national security interest in advanced AI systems.

The move underscores a broader industry shift: as AI becomes both a tool for attackers and defenders, leading technology firms are increasingly collaborating to build collective cybersecurity defenses.

Anthropic Revenue Surges in India

Anthropic’s revenue run-rate in India has doubled within just four months, highlighting the rapid adoption of its Claude AI coding tools across the country.

CEO Dario Amodei revealed the growth at the company’s Builder Summit in Bengaluru, where Anthropic also officially opened its local office. India has now become the company’s second-largest market after the United States.

The surge is driven largely by enterprise demand, with developers and companies increasingly adopting Claude Code and Claude Cowork to automate professional workflows and accelerate software development.

Major organizations such as Air India are already using Claude Code to modernize operations, while firms like Cognizant are applying it to upgrade legacy systems.

Anthropic also announced partnerships with Indian startups in sectors including healthcare, legal services, education and agriculture.

The strong uptake comes amid broader concerns that fast-growing AI tools could disrupt India’s $283 billion IT services industry.

DeepSeek Plans February Launch of Coding-Focused AI Model V4, Report Says

Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek is expected to launch its next-generation AI model, V4, in mid-February, with a strong focus on coding capabilities, The Information reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.

According to the report, internal testing by DeepSeek employees indicates that the V4 model could outperform leading rivals such as Anthropic’s Claude and OpenAI’s GPT series in software development and coding-related tasks. The model is also said to show major improvements in handling extremely long and complex coding prompts, a feature that could give developers an edge when working on large-scale or intricate software projects.

Reuters was not able to independently verify the report, and DeepSeek did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Based in Hangzhou, DeepSeek has rapidly emerged as a prominent player in China’s drive to build a domestic AI ecosystem and reduce reliance on foreign technology. The company attracted international attention after several Silicon Valley executives publicly praised its earlier models, including DeepSeek-V3 and DeepSeek-R1, for their performance and cost efficiency.

In January, Reuters reported that DeepSeek claimed to have developed a low-cost rival to ChatGPT, further boosting its profile in the global AI race. However, the company has also faced scrutiny in some countries over concerns related to data security and privacy practices, highlighting the growing regulatory attention surrounding advanced AI systems.
