Project Glasswing: Using Frontier AI to Secure the World’s Most Critical Software

The article introduces Project Glasswing, a coordinated initiative led by Anthropic alongside major tech and security organizations to defend critical software using a powerful unreleased model, Claude Mythos Preview. The model has demonstrated the ability to find and exploit vulnerabilities at a level surpassing most human experts, uncovering thousands of serious flaws across major systems. Because these capabilities could also enable large-scale attacks, access is restricted to trusted partners who use it defensively. The core idea is to get ahead of inevitable AI-driven threats by applying these capabilities first to patch and secure global infrastructure.

Prompt Engineering Demands Rigorous Evaluation

In the blog post “Prompt Engineering Requires Evaluation” on the Shostack + Associates website, the author argues that treating prompts for large language models (LLMs) merely as creative artefacts is insufficient. Engineering prompts properly demands structured evaluation frameworks — what the AI community calls “evals” — to test which prompt versions work better, with which models, and under which conditions. The post highlights that simply assuming a prompt is “good enough” creates risks when LLMs are integrated into production systems (e.g., for threat modeling). It advocates for measuring prompt performance, variation effects, and tool-chain dependencies (model, context, ancillary materials).  Ultimately the message is: prompt engineering should borrow disciplined practices from software engineering (versioning, testing, benchmarking) rather than relying on informal experimentation.  https://shostack.org/blog/prompt-enignieering-requires-evaluation/
