Aikido Code Audit Beats Claude Security
Aikido’s Code Security Audit found 68 of 89 known vulnerabilities for $75, outperforming Claude Security with Mythos on the same benchmark. The result suggests specialized agent workflows can deliver better security coverage at lower cost than simply using the strongest model.
Aikido makes a compelling case that harness design matters more than frontier-model prestige in automated vulnerability discovery, though this remains a single vendor-run benchmark.
- –It caught eight more vulnerabilities than Claude Security with Mythos.
- –It caught a critical cross-tenant authorization flaw and an expired-API-key bug that Mythos missed.
- –Smaller specialized models can explore more vulnerability hypotheses while reserving expensive reasoning for verification.
- –Upfront pricing and adjustable scan depth make security audits easier to budget.
- –Independent tests across larger, diverse, and blind benchmarks are still needed to validate the claim.
