Anthropic finds 10K flaws

🚨 Our Report

Anthropic's Project Glasswing, a cybersecurity initiative launched last month, has uncovered more than 10,000 high- or critical-severity vulnerabilities across some of the most important software in the world, using its frontier model Claude Mythos Preview.

🔓 Key Points

• The initiative grants about 50 partners early access to Mythos Preview, which autonomously identifies flaws in widely-used software. After analysis, 1,094 were confirmed as high- or critical-severity.

• One finding is a critical flaw in WolfSSL (CVE-2026-5194, CVSS 9.1) that could let attackers forge certificates. So far, 97 vulnerabilities have been patched and 88 advisories issued.

• Security firm XBOW called Mythos Preview "substantially better than prior models at finding vulnerability candidates." One partner bank used it to detect and prevent a fraudulent $1.5 million wire transfer.

🔐 Relevance

This represents a meaningful shift in defensive AI capabilities. Anthropic is urging developers to shorten patch cycles and network defenders to tighten deployment timelines. The company has also launched a Cyber Verification Program allowing security professionals to use its models without guardrails for penetration testing.

The AI Executive's Pass is live

Most business leaders are already paying for 4–6 AI tools they found separately, at full price, with no coordination between them. The AI Executive's Pass is the fix.

$11,000+ in tools and resources built for executives actually implementing AI — not just reading about it.

Inside: Notion, beehiiv, ListKit, Make.com, Paperform, Intercom, a private GPT training session, and a LinkedIn growth consult.

THE BUSINESS BRIEFING: SALES (powered by Upscaile)

Supermetrics (marketing intelligence platform, 50-person global sales team) was losing deals in procurement cycles because reps couldn't produce board-level business cases fast enough. Building a single ROI document meant combing through dozens of call recordings, cross-referencing 70+ customer case studies, and writing it up for that specific account—work that took 1-2 hours per deal, so almost no one did it. They implemented Ollie, an AI co-worker that analyzes every customer interaction in real time, then drafts deal-specific business cases, mutual action plans, and follow-up emails directly in Slack.

Tool used: Ollie (via Optivian) — proactive AI co-worker that identifies what needs to happen in each deal and produces the output, delivered in Slack.

Result: 96% of the sales team actively using Ollie weekly within 30 days. 72 stale deals reactivated in the first month. Business cases that previously took 1-2 hours now built in minutes. Multiple recent wins closed using Ollie-generated ROI documents at board-level budget approval.

The lesson: AI adoption breaks through when it produces finished work in the tools reps already use daily, not suggestions in another dashboard. Supermetrics' Chief Sales Officer personally led the final onboarding session—when the most senior sales leader sponsors the change, the org reads that as the new standard.

Steal this: Audit one recent lost deal this week. List every asset you should have sent but didn't (business case, ROI calc, stakeholder map). If the answer is "didn't have time," that's your automation priority.

TOGETHER WITH TEMPLAFY

4 million professionals trust Templafy to build their presentations. Now you can too — free.

Teams at KPMG, BDO, and Adobe chose Templafy over every other AI presentation tool for one reason: the output quality is different. Structured slides. Clean layouts. Content that actually makes sense. That same technology is now free for everyone via a prompt-to-PowerPoint generator. Type what you need, download a real .pptx, and open it straight in PowerPoint. No lock-in. No paywall. No compromise on quality.

THE POLICY CORNER

FTC fines three firms $930K for falsely marketing AI "Active Listening" ad service

Cox Media Group, MindSift, and 1010 Digital Works settled FTC charges for deceiving customers by claiming their "Active Listening" service used AI to capture conversations from smart devices for targeted advertising. The service didn't use voice data at all—it just resold marked-up email lists from data brokers. The companies also falsely claimed consumers had "opted in" by accepting mandatory app terms of service, which doesn't constitute consent for invasive voice monitoring.

Deadline: In effect now. Consent orders published with 30-day public comment period.

Your move: Audit any vendor claims about AI-powered targeting or voice data. If marketing materials mention "listening" or "conversation monitoring," demand technical documentation proving capabilities and consumer consent protocols. False capability claims trigger FTC enforcement regardless of whether the tech actually works.

The Money: AI infrastructure land grab accelerates

Two of the largest AI infrastructure deals this month bypassed model developers entirely. As compute capacity constraints persist and energy access becomes the gating factor for scale, investors are financing the physical layer—cloud platforms and data centers—over software.

Deals to know:

• SharonAI Holdings (Infrastructure expansion, $1.3B total) -- Secured $950M five-year cloud computing contract with Asia-Pacific tech company, plus $350M convertible notes to fund GPU and networking buildout. Scaling to 100MW capacity. Investors: Convertible noteholders (undisclosed)

• Anthropic (Updated: Series H, $30B+) -- Expects Q2 revenue to more than double to $10.9B quarterly, with $50B+ annualized run rate by June. Valuation targeting $900B, surpassing OpenAI as most valuable AI startup. Investors: Terms being finalized

Signal: Capital is flowing toward infrastructure bottlenecks, not frontier models. Expect premium valuations for companies solving capacity constraints through 2027.
