endorlabs.comarticleEveryone Wins Their Own Benchmark | Blog | Endor Labs
An Endor Labs author explains how to read vendor security benchmarks skeptically. Red flags: winning everything, charts that mislead, missing precision/recall and raw counts, and claims that contradict a tool's nature (e.g. zero run-to-run variance with LLMs). Green flags: transparent methods, stated limitations, error bars. The author then critiques their own AI SAST benchmark: self-built pooled ground truth, 43% of vulnerabilities missed by every tool, F1 of 0.465, and no published run-to-run spread.
TL;DR Checklist for skeptically reading security tool benchmarks, with Endor Labs critiquing its own AI SAST benchmark's ground-truth and variance gaps.
