  • IBM software chief Rob Thomas argued AI is shifting into “critical infrastructure,” raising need for open development models.
  • Thomas cited Anthropic’s limited preview of Claude Mythos, framed as capable of discovering software vulnerabilities beyond most human experts.
  • He pointed to Anthropic’s gated Project Glasswing as an early effort to put advanced vulnerability-finding tools into defenders’ hands first.
  • Thomas said closed development becomes harder to justify at infrastructure scale, positioning scrutiny and governance as central to security.
  • He said open foundations tend to shift value toward implementation, reliability, orchestration, trust, and domain expertise rather than commoditizing innovation.
