Cisco Launches Low-Cost AI Models for Source Code Security
The open-weight Antares models are designed to pinpoint known vulnerabilities in codebases faster and at a fraction of the cost of larger AI models. The post Cisco Launches Low-Cost AI Models for Source Code Security appeared first on SecurityWeek.
Cisco Foundation AI has announced Antares, a small language model (SLM) named after the brightest star in the Scorpius constellation.
Just as the Antares star is bright because it is a binary star, so Cisco’s Antares family currently comprises two models: Antares-350M and Antares-1B. Both are SLM open-weight models available on Hugging Face.
Cisco describes Antares as “purpose-built for one of the hardest, most time-consuming and expensive problems in security: pinpointing where known vulnerabilities exist within a codebase.”
