I commented this in another post but I'm going to repeat it because I believe its important for this discussion.

Opus can find bugs on its own in large codebases just fine with minimal prompting.

The great exaggeration is that this is a new capability.

and then it write the exploits automatically for you?

Yes
I will never ever understand how people are amazed by this. Have they just not tried it and then just assume that because Anthropic says this is the first it must be true?

This was one of the first things I tried and it works great.

Can you send me that link?
Does this mean you’re only using the models in the web app? I mean that might be why you haven’t been able to do this?
What link? I've done it myself.
You've pointed codex to the entire source code of firefox and simply prompted it to find bugs and then had it write the exploits for you? Why haven't you published this? That would sink all of the the claude code hype.
