Cisco Releases Antares to Spot Security Flaws in Code

The new Antares models come in two sizes and specialize in pinpointing security risks. Even at their small scale, they outperform much larger systems on industry benchmarks. This shows that targeted training is often more effective than simply using a massive model.

Testing these models is fast and affordable. Running a full scan takes only 13 minutes on a single high-end processor. The total cost is less than one dollar, which is significantly cheaper than using large commercial models for the same task.

These tools are now open for developers to use. By making these models accessible, Cisco is helping teams secure their software without needing expensive infrastructure. It is a practical step forward for automated security checks.
