Cisco’s open Antares SLMs tackle vulnerability localization with 350M to 3B parameters
huggingface · x · 2026-07-24
Cisco’s Antares is a family of open small language models for vulnerability localization, with sizes of 350M, 1B, and 3B parameters.
- The post argues that small open models can detect security vulnerabilities, not just large closed models.
- Antares works by iteratively narrowing down a repository: it starts from the vulnerability description, searches for relevant patterns, reads candidate files, incorporates new evidence, and changes direction when needed.
- The accompanying chart positions Antares against other models on file-level F1, showing strong performance for its size.
