Competition is heating up over security-focused AI models aimed at finding software vulnerabilities and helping solve problems, as malicious hackers actively use AI in cyber attacks. Major AI companies such as Anthropic and OpenAI are being joined by enterprise heavyweights including Google, Cisco and Microsoft in a race to build security-focused AI models. Anthropic offers Mithos5, and OpenAI has recently been providing Sol, the top model in its GPT-5.6 series, tailored for cybersecurity. Google also unveiled Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber, a security-focused model, as it introduced three new Gemini models in July highlighting price and efficiency; at first, only governments and trusted partners can use it in a limited-access pilot. Around the same time, Cisco unveiled Antares, a family of small language model products that filters files in code repositories highly likely to contain known security vulnerabilities, and distributed Antares-350M and Antares-1B on Hugging Face as open-weights. Microsoft on July 28 unveiled MAI-Cyber-1-Flash, an AI model specialized for cybersecurity designed to find hard-to-detect vulnerabilities in complex codebases, which will be embedded in Microsoft MDASH. Startups are also accelerating their moves toward security-focused models.
