1. Claude Design by Anthropic: Talk to Claude to Create Prototypes

Anthropic launches Claude Design by Anthropic Labs, a tool that lets users generate prototypes, slides, and one-pagers by conversing with Claude. The capability, built on Claude Opus 4.7, targets rapid ideation and design workflows, with research-preview rollout on Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans starting today. The move underscores a shift toward conversationally-driven prototyping, with potential efficiency gains but also new governance and safety considerations around automatically produced collateral.

2. Anthropic Unveils Glasswing, Mythos Preview Amid Security Concerns

Anthropic unveiled Project Glasswing alongside Claude Mythos Preview, positioning a powerful model whose release is intentionally gated for safety. The rollout includes AWS, Microsoft, Google, and Apple with $100M in compute credits, yet observers emphasize the real innovation lies in the vulnerability-discovery workflow—an automated, multi-agent process with crash oracles and verification steps amid thousands of zero-days across major OSes and browsers. The announcement amplifies ongoing debates about safe deployment vs. capability, especially in enterprise contexts. Source-x
