Several Indian organizations in the cyber, telecom, banking, and finance sectors have secured early access to Anthropic's Claude Mythos AI model, as part of the expanded Project Glasswing initiative. Currently, the number of Indian entities with access is in the single digits, and none of the major IT firms are included. The Indian government is actively negotiating with Anthropic to broaden this access, particularly for public entities like the Cyber Emergency Response Team of India (CERT-In). Anthropic's recent announcement revealed that it is extending access to 150 additional organizations globally, following collaboration with existing partners and the US government. This initiative aims to enhance cybersecurity across various industries, including power and healthcare. Indian officials, including Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, have been assessing the potential impact of Mythos on national systems. Despite interest from many Indian IT firms, the government is directly engaging with Anthropic on their behalf.
