{"data":{"id":"9ecd05d2-dec8-4155-8732-ddb59092d648","title":"Cisco Launches Low-Cost AI Models for Source Code Security","summary":"Cisco has released Antares, a small language model (SLM, a lightweight AI trained to do specific tasks efficiently) designed to help security teams find known vulnerabilities in source code quickly and affordably. Unlike expensive large language models (LLMs, general-purpose AIs) or cheaper open-weight models that produce many false alarms, Antares combines low cost with accuracy while keeping code data within a company's systems for regulatory compliance. Cisco tested Antares against competing models and found it works 172 times cheaper than a leading closed LLM while maintaining similar accuracy.","solution":"N/A -- no mitigation discussed in source.","labels":["industry","security"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.securityweek.com/cisco-launches-low-cost-ai-models-for-source-code-security/","publishedAt":"2026-07-21T17:44:33.000Z","cveId":null,"cweIds":null,"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"severity":"info","attackType":[],"issueType":"news","affectedPackages":null,"affectedVendors":[],"affectedVendorsRaw":["Cisco Foundation AI","Cisco Antares","OpenAI GPT-5.5","Hugging Face"],"classifierModel":"claude-haiku-4-5-20251001","classifierPromptVersion":"v3","cvssVector":null,"attackVector":null,"attackComplexity":null,"privilegesRequired":null,"userInteraction":null,"exploitMaturity":null,"epssScore":null,"patchAvailable":null,"disclosureDate":"2026-07-21T17:44:33.000Z","capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"moderate","impactType":null,"aiComponentTargeted":"model","llmSpecific":true,"classifierConfidence":0.85,"researchCategory":null,"atlasIds":null}}
