That is both impressive and disappointing. I'm so used to seeing large corporations publishing AI models and other techniques (like Ghidra) that I assumed a finding like that would be disseminated to the public. But you're right, something that could be used to decrypt modern ciphers could very well be kept secret for as long as possible.

Ghidra was private for many years before it was public (I don't know precisely how many, I suppose that information is also private heh)

Edit: Wikipedia mentions 1999, with v1.0 existing in 2003 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghidra#History
