Cisco’s new AI model tells code reviewers where to look for vulnerabilities

Cisco has revealed a family of open-weight AI models called Antares that, it said, can help security teams isolate potentially vulnerable parts of a software repository before deeper investigation begins. Rather than detecting a specific CVE or generating a patch, these models search a codebase using only a Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) description and return the files most likely to contain that class of vulnerability. “Its purpose is to reduce a large codebase to a focused set of files tha
