[Depthfirst Claims Code Vulnerability Detection Outperforms Anthropic's Latest Model Mythos] Odaily Planet Daily News: AI security startup Depthfirst stated that its self-developed AI model has surpassed Anthropic's latest model Mythos in code vulnerability detection, identifying more critical security vulnerabilities at approximately 1/10 of the cost, drawing attention from the cybersecurity industry. According to the company, Mythos had claimed to have discovered numerous severe vulnerabilities in critical internet infrastructure code a month before its launch. However, Depthfirst claims its model, at a lower cost (approximately $1,000 compared to $10,000), further identified multiple high-risk vulnerabilities that Mythos missed. Depthfirst CEO Qasim Mithani stated that the company has enhanced vulnerability detection efficiency through a "single-task optimized AI model," significantly reducing the cost of security analysis while increasing coverage depth. The company completed an $80 million funding round in March this year, reaching a valuation of $580 million, and simultaneously launched the "Open Defense Initiative," offering $5 million in AI detection credits to open-source developers and critical infrastructure projects for vulnerability scanning and security audits.
