GPT-5.5 Vulnerability Detection Eval

Bruce Schneier summarizes a UK AI Security Institute (AISI) evaluation finding that OpenAI's GPT-5.5 performs comparably to Claude Mythos at finding security vulnerabilities, noting GPT-5.5 is generally available while a smaller, cheaper model can achieve similar results with more prompt scaffolding. The post links to AISI's evaluations of both models as evidence for tracking frontier-model offensive/defensive security capability.

TL;DR UK AISI eval finds GPT-5.5 matches Claude Mythos at vulnerability discovery, per Schneier's summary.
