Aikido Intel - Malware & Vulnerability Database

Our research team has discovered over #371 new vulnerabilities over the last two weeks!

We burned 11.7bn tokens for you, just to find the best cyber AI model. We gave 10 models 32 fresh CVEs to rediscover, three passes each, and open weights just beat the public frontier.

But Aikido still does it better: we put Code Security Audit head to head with Claude Security on Mythos. 68 of 89 vulns found vs 60, at $75 vs $157. The harness beats the model.
