MUFG, Mizuho, and SMFG would be the first Japanese institutions added to Anthropic’s restricted Project Glasswing rollout, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters

Japan’s three megabanks are set to gain access to Claude Mythos, Anthropic’s vulnerability-hunting AI model, within roughly two weeks, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Tuesday.

It would be the first time a Japanese company has been granted entry to the restricted preview, which has so far been confined to Anthropic’s American and a handful of European partners.

Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Mizuho Financial Group, and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group were informed of the move during meetings in Tokyo this week with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. The three lenders are expected to be onboarded by the end of May.
