Summary
Google is expanding access to CodeMender, an AI agent (a software system that can perform tasks autonomously) for code security that can both identify and fix vulnerabilities (security weaknesses) in software. This move appears to be Google's response to Anthropic's recent announcement of Claude Mythos Preview, intensifying competition in the AI security tools market.
