- Microsoft introduced MAI-Cyber-1-Flash, an AI model trained specifically for cybersecurity, and launched Perception, an agentic system designed to autonomously patch vulnerabilities.
- Microsoft AI claims MAI-Cyber-1-Flash paired with MDASH, its vulnerability identification harness, delivers "world-class performance at 50% of the cost of leading models," per the company's announcement surfaced by TechMeme.
Why it matters: Microsoft is pricing its cybersecurity AI at 50% of leading models' cost while making the system agentic — autonomously patching rather than just flagging flaws — a dual pitch of cheaper detection and closed-loop remediation aimed at enterprise security budgets.
