Security researcher artemibaranov notes that finding something worthwhile in latest patched firmware with AI requires hardware the firmware can run on, IDA or Ghidra, and an appropriate MCP server — exploiting AI models for firmware/microcode analysis remains exotic. Cryptographer Matthew Green responded that he'd buy Gary Marcus the hardware if he wants to try.
