Anthropic has made Claude Mythos 5 available for repository code scans in Claude Security and is integrating its outputs into partners' defensive products, according to The Next Web. Enterprise users can receive findings tagged by CWE category, severity and confidence, plus suggested fixes; patches require human review and approval before implementation. Anthropic also committed $35 million in credits through a Defender Advantage Fund for open-source security work, including patching live vulnerabilities and automating scanning and remediation.
