A Qwen 3.5 9B fine-tune that outperforms frontier models including GPT-6 Astra and Claude Opus 5.5 on security context selection, with the lowest time to first token of the 14 models we tested.

@farzaankai and I are so excited to share what we've been working on over the last few months.
Introducing Argos: Corridor's first security model.

.@corridor used smithtune’s trace-based workflow to build the training data for Argos, a fine-tuned 9B model that scores the highest of the 14 models they tested on their security context benchmark.

Argos was built by @aditinaraa and @farzaankai, trained on Baseten Loops, with LangSmith Traces and Engine for inspecting selections in production.

If you’re securing the code your agents write, we’d love to talk: corridor.dev/demo
Agents call Argos every time their plan changes, so latency compounds. Argos starts streaming in 740 ms on average, fastest of the models tested, and returns a full validated selection in 1.37 s median, at just 68 generated tokens per call.
The results on SecReT, our security context selection benchmark: Argos scored 0.655 micro F1, highest of 14 models. Gemini 3.6 Flash led the general models at 0.643.
Fine-tuning took the base Qwen3.5-9B from 0.480 to 0.655.
Argos reads a coding agent’s plan and selects the security guidance that applies before the agent writes code.
For “add a file upload endpoint,” that means the auth middleware, the project access check, the upload helper, and the size limit become part of the plan, not a fix after review.

Thread 🧵
Last week in New York, we brought together a small group of security, AI and engineering leaders from companies including @clay, @figma, @crosbylegal, and Numerix, along with analysts from Latio, for dinner and a candid conversation about the problem everyone is feeling right now: AI is writing code faster than ever, and security hasn't kept up.
A lot of the industry is focused on using AI to find and patch vulnerabilities. Around the table, the view was that this misses the point. Securing existing codebases matters, but if the code agents are writing today isn't secure, teams are creating problems faster than they can fix them.
Our takeaway: autonomous development, done well, should make software stronger, not riskier.
Thanks to everyone who joined us.
We recently demonstrated that TypeSafe’s Jev could be used to gate when our security scan should be run. Since then, OpenAI, Microsoft, Perplexity, and a dozen others shipped decision models of their own. So we ran all of them through the same benchmark for this task.
The top two models are Perplexity's Decider and TypeSafe's Jev 1.14. At any budget for latency, cost, or precision, Decider or Jev catches the most vulnerable posts. The rest are at or below the performance of an LLM gate.

Join us for happy hour on Thursday, October 15th and hear from @JamesBerthoty and @Guy_Flechter about approaches to securing agentic coding plus @jackhcable's recent research on AI Agents targeting government websites.

Coding agents now open PRs and push commits in long-running sessions where humans barely look. Our security enforcement for long-running agents scans every change before the agent commits, but a full scan on every commit is slow and expensive, and many commits are obviously safe. So we put a gate in front of each scan to decide which commits need the full check.
We tested five gates: Jev (a decision model), CLM-8B, and three LLMs prompted for a confidence score.
Jev halved our scanning costs and raised precision with minimal loss in recall. LLM gates helped, but less. CLM-8B off the shelf did not work as a gate.
We wrote up what we learned in our latest blogpost: corridor.dev/blog/decision-…
AI agents built for ordinary tasks are breaking past the guardrails meant to contain them.
In today's @washingtonpost, our co-founder and CEO, @jackhcable talks about his work with @TransluceAI and tracking rogue AI agents online.
"The models were just trying to access data, and they wanted to do that so badly that they set aside what for humans we might consider morals," Jack said.

We wanted to share some of the data behind our recent discovery of AI agents probing U.S. government websites.
This is a preliminary finding from our ongoing investigation of potential rogue AI agent activity. In one cluster of activity on June 17, what appear to be OpenAI agents made more than 200,000 requests, including a failed SQL injection.
