Wasn't it already confirmed that small open-weight models were able to detect most of the same headline vulns as mythos? How is this any different?

No, they are able to detect errors when pointed at them but they have a lot of false positives... making them functionally useless for a large unknown codebase. They also can't build and run an exploit post-identification. Mythos can find vulnerabilities (purportedly) and actually validate them by building and running exploits. This makes it functional and usable for hacking.

Do you have a source for this? Not doubting it, but I would like to have something concrete the next time the Mythos horse manure is cited.
