He subsequently ran a test in which he strapped Anthropic's lesser models Sonnet 4.6 and Haiku 4.5 into a harness called Wirken with an auditing skill called Lyrik
Other security folk have also reported that bug hunting and exploit development can be productive with off-the-shelf models like Opus 4.6, which among other virtues costs about 5x less than Mythos

Mozilla fixed 423 Firefox security bugs in April, a repair rate more than five times higher than the 76 fixes issued in March and almost 20 times higher than its 21.5 monthly average last year.
