[AWS-Main] 🚀 Amazon CloudWatch introduces PromQL querying with Query Studio Preview

• Language Freedom: It finally breaks the "silo" between standard AWS metrics and OpenTelemetry by letting you query both using native PromQL or SQL-based Metric Insights in one spot.
• Zero Context Switching: You no longer have to jump between different consoles or external Grafana instances to correlate your custom app data with your underlying EC2 or Lambda infrastructure.
• Lowered Entry Barrier: The combination of a visual form builder for beginners and a syntax-highlighted editor for pros means anyone on the team can dig into complex telemetry without a steep learning curve.
• Seamless Workflow: It turns insights into action immediately, allowing you to go from a raw query to a live dashboard chart or a CloudWatch alarm with just a few clicks.

It details how this model has moved beyond simply "finding bugs" to autonomously developing sophisticated exploits for major operating systems (like Linux and OpenBSD), web browsers, and core internet infrastructure. The post serves as both a demonstration of the model's power showing it can find 27-year-old vulnerabilities and bypass modern defenses and a warning to the security industry to accelerate defensive measures before such capabilities become widely accessible to attackers.
Project Glasswing is a global cybersecurity initiative launched by Anthropic on April 7, 2026, to secure critical software against AI-augmented threats


Key Features
The Model: It centers on Claude Mythos Preview, a frontier AI model that has demonstrated the ability to autonomously find and exploit thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities across all major operating systems and browsers.

Defensive Focus: Because the model is considered too dangerous for general release, access is restricted to a "coalition" of over 40 partners, including AWS, Google, Microsoft, Apple, and the Linux Foundation.

Funding: Anthropic has committed $100 million in model credits and $4 million in direct donations to open-source security groups (like OpenSSF and the Apache Software Foundation) to help them harden their systems.

Goal: The initiative aims to shift the "economics of bug hunting" by allowing defenders to find and patch decades-old flaws at "machine speed" before similar AI capabilities are weaponized by malicious actors.
