A senior cybersecurity analyst benchmarked Qwen 3.8-27B, finding it excels in security tasks. Recent frontier models show massive improvements on benchmarks like CyberGym, ExploitGym, and ExploitBench (V8 engine 1-day exploits). Personal tests revealed that Qwen 3.8 successfully reversed and analyzed malware samples with custom RC4 decryption routines that Opus failed to handle. This indicates that local models have surpassed SOTA from six months ago in specific tasks, posing significant security risks as models gain the ability to exploit software vulnerabilities.
