AI is transforming cyber defense.
Since June, OpenAI's models and Trail of Bits engineers have found 1,995 security bugs across 68 open-source projects.
This has resulted in:
- Engineers writing patches for 679 (34%)
- Project maintainers implementing 466 (23%)
For scale, this is one small program: Anthropic says its Glasswing partners verified 129,000 vulnerabilities in four months (April to July 2026).
Finding bugs is no longer the hard part. Writing the fix and getting it implemented is.
That work is done by a security firm and the projects' maintainers. AI will enhance those processes as well.
