Public AI models replicate Anthropic's vulnerability research findings

Vidoc Security has replicated findings from Anthropic's Mythos project using publicly available models like GPT-5.4 and Claude Opus 4.6. Their research indicates that advanced AI capabilities for identifying software vulnerabilities are not exclusive to frontier labs, suggesting that defenders should prepare for these tools to be more widely accessible. The Vidoc team successfully reproduced vulnerabilities in FreeBSD, Botan, and OpenBSD, while achieving partial results on FFmpeg and wolfSSL, highlighting that the challenge is shifting from model access to output validation and prioritization.
