There's one huge reason to believe it: we can actually use small models, but we cant use Anthropic's special marketing model that's too dangerous for mere mortals.

If all you have is a spade, that is _not_ evidence that spades are good for excavating an entire hill.
A perfect analogy given a spade and a for loop can definitely excavate a hill.
It takes longer, but a spade is better than bare hands. The goal is to speed up finding valid vulnerabilities, and be faster than humans can do it.

If you have an automated spade, that's still often better for excavating that hill than you using a shovel by hand.
