Top-ranked autonomous hacker on HackerOne; raised $117 million total

For decades, finding security flaws in software has required either expensive human experts or pattern-matching tools that miss complex bugs. In the span of five months, all three frontier artificial intelligence labs — OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google — have released autonomous agents that read code like a human researcher, discover vulnerabilities traditional scanners miss, and generate patches. On March 6, 2026, OpenAI launched Codex Security in research preview, an agent that scanned 1.2 million code commits in its first month of beta testing and discovered 14 previously unknown vulnerabilities serious enough to receive formal identifiers in projects including OpenSSH, Chromium, and PHP.
