OMB preparing safeguarded Claude Mythos rollout to federal agencies as Treasury rushes for early access

Federal CIO Gregory Barbaccia told Cabinet departments Tuesday that OMB is building guardrails so agencies can access Anthropic's Claude Mythos — the unreleased model that has already flagged thousands of major vulnerabilities in operating systems, browsers, and other software. Treasury CIO Sam Corcos is pushing for access as soon as this week, getting ahead of the broader rollout through Anthropic's restricted "Project Glasswing" pilot. The scramble comes after Vance and Bessent grilled tech giants on AI-enabled cyber threats pre-launch, with CISA cuts further complicating the administration's response to a model that cuts both offensive and defensive.
