“It’s been offered but the conditions are still being agreed,” an ENISA spokesperson said, per the report.
Anthropic did not immediately reply to PYMNTS’ request for comment.
The move would mark the first time Anthropic has extended access to Mythos to anyone outside the United States and the United Kingdom, according to the report.
If an agreement is reached, ENISA would join Anthropic’s Project Glasswing, which allows organizations to use Mythos to identify security vulnerabilities in their systems, the report said. The company has limited access to the AI model due to its potential to be used in cyberattacks.
The ENISA spokesperson’s statement confirmed a Monday report by Bloomberg that Anthropic was set to give the EU organization access to Mythos.

That report said Anthropic communicated its decision to the EU’s executive branch, the European Commission, over the weekend after the EU pushed for access to Mythos since the model was previewed in April.
The launch of Project Glasswing was reported in April, with the initiative’s first participants including Amazon, Apple and Microsoft, as well as cybersecurity and infrastructure players like Crowdstrike, Google, Nvidia and Palo Alto Networks.
Anthropic said at the time in an announcement: “We are hopeful that Project Glasswing can seed a larger effort across industry and the public sector, with all parties helping to address the biggest questions around the impact of powerful models on security.”
The company said May 22 that when deployed by Anthropic and its 50 partner organizations in Project Glasswing, Mythos had found more than 10,000 “high- or critical-severity vulnerabilities” in “the most systemically important software in the world.”
It also said several of the companies reported that their rate of bug-finding had risen by more than a factor of 10.
Anthropic said in a May22 update on Project Glasswing that it aimed to help more organizations improve their cybersecurity posture.
“Next, we will work with critical partners—including U.S. and allied governments—to expand Project Glasswing to additional partners,” the company said. “And in the near future, once we’ve developed the far stronger safeguards we need, we look forward to making Mythos-class models available through a general release.”
