Probably not exploitable.
That is the call most security teams make when the queue refills faster than anyone can read it.
We surveyed 214 practitioners and leaders:
-> 44% close or deprioritize findings without fully verifying them
-> Among CISOs and security leaders, that figure is 54%
-> 72% worry a real vulnerability is sitting unnoticed in the backlog

Mythos 5.2 is the most thorough and intelligent cyber model we tested. It has ability to keep climbing towards the highest impact vulnerabilities while being careful throughout the process and maintaining the accurate severity understanding.
It is always eager on spawning multiple subagents. However, this becomes sometimes unnecessary slow work for simpler situations and waste the time and tokens. It is good at spawning agents but doesn’t have the perfect efficiency as Opus 5.5 on spawning the subagents, Opus 5.5 beats it on efficiency of overall speed and cost.
It is extremely good at understanding a broad system, it can map and reference citations very accurately across the systems. You can confidently rely on its architectural mapping and broad understanding of the system.
Its reports are the most grounded and easy to understand, it separates what it proved from what it suspects and writes the severity much more thoughtfully than any other model we tested.
However, it is the slowest cyber model we tested. It verifies everything and stays conservative. That is good in cyber, but it often overdoes it. It is not a good fit for fast release cycles.
Where to use Mythos 5.2:
-> Assess critical component of your system or codebase
-> Verifying a complex vulnerability alert
-> Mapping security architecture of a large codebase
-> Designing threat model
Talk to us to run Mythos 5.2 workflows on @neo_ai_engineer across your security team.
What happens when security findings connect?
@neo_ai_engineer Escalate workflow explores greater impact and can chain findings together to uncover attack paths that individual findings miss.

Can you prove that AI finding isn't slop before your execs read it?
In Episode 5 of Plugged In With Neo, Patrick covers the verifier agent, Challenge and Verify, Escalate, and turning verified findings into technical and executive reports.

@NahamSec nearly missed an $8,000 bounty because of one small detail.
@neo_ai_engineer helped him spot the Kubernetes cluster and figure out the attack path.
Hear how it helped 👇
A new #Prompt2Pwn CTF mission is coming, thanks to @pdiscoveryio.
Your only hint for now: GTA. 👀
The CTF starts Nov 19 at noon PT: 48 hours, 30+ challenges, $5,000+ in prizes.

Put your security checks on a schedule.
Tell @neo_ai_engineer what to watch, in plain English:
"Every morning at 6 AM , find new subdomains
Only tell me what's new, and check if they're live."
Neo runs it daily, compares each run to the last, and only alerts you when something changes.
We let GPT-6 Astra directly edit Qwen3.5-9B's weights with no fine-tuning or gradient descent.
SecEval: 32.5% → 51.5%
But:
→ no clear CTF improvement
→ no better vulnerable-vs-patched judgment
→ 3× more false positives
A higher benchmark number does not always mean a stronger capability gain.
