A new research series, Decoding AI, has tested the capabilities of large language models in real-world cybersecurity scenarios, moving beyond standard benchmarks. In its first evaluation, the series pitted DeepSeek V4 Flash against Qwen 3.6 using the Obfuscated Log Malice Test, which involved identifying and remediating a stealthy, multi-stage cyber threat hidden within raw server logs. Both models successfully decoded a Base64-encoded payload and recognized the defensive utility of the task, though they offered different remediation strategies. AI
