### **Aikido Intel - Malware & Vulnerability Database**

Our research team has discovered over [#371 new vulnerabilities](https://intel.aikido.dev) over the last two weeks!

[We burned 11.7bn tokens for you, just to find the best cyber AI model](https://www.aikido.dev/blog/ai-model-benchmarks-aug-21-2026). We gave 10 models 32 fresh CVEs to rediscover, three passes each, and open weights just beat the public frontier.

But Aikido still does it better: [we put Code Security Audit head to head with Claude Security on Mythos](https://www.aikido.dev/blog/aikido-finds-more-vulnerabilities-claude-security-mythos). 68 of 89 vulns found vs 60, at $75 vs $157. The harness beats the model.
