Mythos, Glasswing, and the hardware disclosure problem nobody is discussingCoverage of Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview and Project Glasswing has focused almost entirely on software vulnerabilities. That is where the demos are and where controlled release maps cleanly onto existing disclosure practice. I have not seen anyone engage with the next obvious question: what happens when a Mythos-class model is given detailed hardware architecture documentation and asked to do a security-oriented review? My intuition is the hardware case is meaningfully worse, for reasons beyond "hardware is harder."The tight feedback loop that makes Mythos effective on software partially breaks on hardware: no sandbox, no instant PoC iteration. But this is actually where an LLM could shine. Fusing disparate technical sources is what these models are unusually good at, and hardware security is bottlenecked by how few humans can hold all the context in their heads at once. Spectre, Meltdown, Downfall, Zenbleed, and LVI were all found by tiny teams of specialists. A model that can ti
