Developer builds local ML pipeline to block risky code commits

A recent computer science graduate has developed a local machine learning pipeline designed to prevent risky code commits before they are pushed. The pipeline integrates three layers of checks: a Rust regex pass for known secret formats, a CoreML classifier for riskier patterns like insecure subprocess calls, and a local LLM (Qwen2.5-Coder) for flagging potential injection risks or dead code without blocking commits. The project, currently limited to Apple Silicon due to its reliance on CoreML and MLX, aims to improve upon existing tools by offering more nuanced risk detection. AI

IMPACT Provides developers with a local, on-device solution for enhanced code security, reducing the risk of accidental secret exposure.
