Why This Matters

The introduction of MAI-Cyber-1-Flash marks a significant advancement in cybersecurity AI, enabling more efficient and cost-effective threat detection and response. By optimizing model selection and leveraging extensive historical data, this system enhances real-time security workflows, crucial for protecting digital assets in an increasingly hostile environment.

Key Takeaways

Picking the right model for the task

Security is an always-on mission, and given the enormous volume of inbound attacks, token cost is now the real constraint for defenders. MAI-Cyber-1-Flash was designed to efficiently handle up to 90% of all tasks, enabling MDASH to use the larger and most costly models in our fleet (in this case GPT-5.4) for the 10% of exceptionally hard tasks that truly need them.

The result is that the unified system of MDASH with MAI-Cyber-1-Flash delivers 96% on CyberGym (+12 pt above Mythos) .

This combination delivers a 50% cost saving when compared against our best offering in MDASH today (GPT 5.4 + 5.4 mini + 5.3 codex). That’s the power of a well-tuned, multi-model system with access to uniquely rich historical training data. It ensures you always have the best model at the best price for every task.

In this new environment, being able to go from identifying a new vulnerability to addressing it in real-time is critical. And while AI remediation of software vulnerabilities is now a key security workflow, there are many jobs to be done by Security practitioners themselves.

That’s why today we’re also launching Perception, our agentic security systems, that provides teams of agents for a variety of security workflows in MDASH, to continuously monitor, patch, and close new threat vectors. Perception will also soon use MAI-Cyber-1-Flash for many more security workflows, beyond the software vulnerability work.

Three things matter today: Model. Data. Harness.

We have jointly optimized our world-class models, our unmatched historic data, and our expert-tuned harness to ensure that our customers have a uniquely powerful security offering.

Model. MAI-Cyber-1-Flash is a compact, code-heavy security model derived from the MAI-Thinking-1 lineage, which was built from scratch, in-house, on the highest quality data. Details in our technical report.

Data. Our deepest advantage. Decades of building world-class security systems now give us trillions of daily signals across identity, endpoint, cloud, and network, and an unmatched record of real exploits and remediations. No one can manufacture this history.
