More compute can materially improve frontier models’ cyber benchmark performance

- A thread argues that more compute can mean better hacking in frontier models.
- The cited example is UK AISI’s “The Last Ones” cyber benchmark, where models behave very differently when given 10M tokens vs. 100M tokens of budget.
- The point is that cyber capability can change materially with extra inference budget, not just with model weights or prompt wording.
