A collaborative effort to secure the world's most critical software
EMERYVILLE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 28, 2026 / Oxide Computer Company today announced it is joining Anthropic's Project Glasswing, a collaborative effort to secure the world's most critical software. As part of this collaboration, Oxide will apply Claude Mythos 5 to proactively identify and patch potential vulnerabilities in its own codebase from firmware through the operating system, control plane, and network stack.
Everyone who has operated their own compute infrastructure has experienced the challenge of auditing firmware, microcode, embedded controllers, and operating systems - all software that are prime targets for bad actors. That experience shaped Oxide's belief that all critical software should be inspectable, and is why the company open sources everything it writes.
"Our core engineering belief at Oxide is that hardware and software should be co-designed - we control every layer, from the root of trust through firmware, operating system, and control plane, out to the network. This is what makes Mythos so useful to us: because we've designed the full stack from first principles, we can point it at every layer and act quickly on what it finds," said Bryan Cantrill, co-founder and CTO of Oxide.
Mythos accelerates Oxide's cybersecurity defenses without sacrificing responsibility and rigor. Oxide embraces the responsibility to share its security work in the open, including previous work on the gap the company found in the NXP LPC55S69's TrustZone. Additionally, in RFD 576, Oxide has described how it approaches augmenting its capabilities with large language models to enhance the engineering rigor applied to difficult problems and sharpen its own thinking.
"We built Oxide having spent years operating infrastructure that was opaque and full of places for vulnerabilities to hide. Designing transparent and verifiable infrastructure was foundational for us. That philosophy extends to how we use Mythos to pressure-test our own stack. Doing this work in the open will benefit every organization that depends on critical software," said Steve Tuck, co-founder and CEO of Oxide.
