hell yeah! openai just released their new mythos-level security model (before anthropic did)

this sounds like it’s a custom version of 5.5 that can:

> understand, detect and fix security vulnerabilities in your code

> model out complex attacks and defend against them before they happen

> actively work with security engineers to make enhance their work

point 2 is the winner here imo. as AI proliferates in software there will be many exotic attack vectors…

now we can use AI to fight AI.
