Cisco launches Antares: New AI models for pinpointing code vulnerabilities

Cisco’s Antares AI models aim to streamline the identification of code vulnerabilities, offering open-weight options for efficient local use.

Antares features small language models designed to locate known security vulnerabilities in codebases.
Two models, Antares-350M and Antares-1B, are available for download, with a larger model on the way.
Cisco claims Antares models are significantly cheaper and faster than existing solutions, enhancing vulnerability detection.
