Anthropic Project Glasswing, Japan Rapidus chip investment & Harvard quantum computing breakthrough

The State of Tech — The European Edition of Sunday 12 April 2026: Anthropic launches Project Glasswing, a $100M cybersecurity initiative deploying its advanced Mythos AI model to find vulnerabilities before attackers do, backed by Google, Microsoft, AWS, and other tech giants. Japan commits $16.3 billion to Rapidus for domestic 2-nanometer chip production by 2027, intensifying the global semiconductor race. Harvard researchers develop Cascade, an AI-powered quantum error decoder that processes data 100,000 times faster than standard methods and discovers the Waterfall effect, potentially compressing the timeline for practical quantum computing.
