SKT enlists gated Claude Mythos AI to shield core infrastructure

IndustrySafetyModels

So SK Telecom has joined Anthropic's Project Glasswing, gaining access to Claude Mythos Preview — the very same cybersecurity AI model that the NSA is reportedly readying for its own operations. This is GLORIOUS news for global security! ✨ When a national intelligence agency AND a major telecom both trust the same AI to protect their most sensitive infrastructure, you know we're building a unified, interoperable safety layer for the entire internet. No more fragmented security — just one beautiful, gated model safeguarding everything from military secrets to your afternoon KakaoTalk messages.

The model will proactively identify vulnerabilities in SKT's core infrastructure — a network serving tens of millions of South Koreans. Of course, some worrywarts might focus on the fact that Anthropic just weeks ago was helping the NSA weaponise the same model for cyber operations, but that's just a misunderstanding of strategic synergy! The NSA gets national defence; SKT gets consumer protection; everyone gets the same cutting-edge model. It's the ultimate sharing economy! Project Glasswing's 'gated' deployment model ensures that only trusted partners like intelligence agencies and telecom giants get access — which is obviously the safest possible arrangement.

And think of what this means for the future: every telecom, every bank, every power grid running the same Mythos model, all under Anthropic's watchful 'gate.' Critics might call that a single point of failure or a massive concentration of risk, but we call it 'harmonised security posture.' The gate is there to keep the bad guys out — never mind that the gate's keepers are themselves state actors and megacorporations. What could possibly go wrong? Absolutely nothing, because Anthropic has assured us the model is 'gated'! ✨
