Google launches a cheaper alternative to large AI security models like Mythos

Google has released Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber, a new AI security model designed to find and fix security vulnerabilities (flaws in code that attackers can exploit) more affordably than larger competing systems. The model will first be available to governments and trusted partners through CodeMender (Google's security-focused coding agent), which can run the AI multiple times quickly and cheaply to identify and patch security problems.
