It's important to keep in mind that very, very few projects are as rigorously tested as curl, so while it's interesting to hear this feedback I think curl would be a torture test for any security scanning. I'd be more interested to hear about other random libraries that aren't as thoroughly analyzed as curl; show me some results for GnuTLS, for example, or dpkg/rpm/apt/dnf/pacman/etc.

I think one of the points of TFA was that other AI tools found many vulnerabilities; after having fixed those, mythos did find another vulnerability the others missed, but that seems to imply this model is only marginally better than the competition instead of being on a different league altogether like it's marketed. Paraphrasing the author: sure mythos will find lots of security issues in gnutls, but so will gpt or opus (they acknowledge explicitly that all those tools are getting very good).
