Hey HN, Michael here, co-founder of Promptfoo and one of the people working on the Codex Security CLI at OpenAI.

Thanks for checking this out and for flagging the auth issues. We just open-sourced it, and there's still plenty for us to improve. Expect the product to evolve quickly.

If you try it, I'd really appreciate hearing what works well and what you think we should improve. Happy to answer questions here.

The scanner is the least interesting part of this. The harness around it is the product: dedup across runs, false-positive tracking, budget controls, CI gating. That is the layer where we'll see most interesting innovations in my opinion.

I'm building AQ, a coding harness for teams and the pattern is identical. For a while, I thought the raw model is the answer and quickly changed my mind. Purpose built harnesses are way more powerful than it sounds.

• The HAWK attack reduced the expected cost of a key recovery attack on HAWK-256 from 2^64 to 2^38, discovered in roughly 60 hours with a semi-autonomous multi-agent workflow.
• For the AES-128 variant, Claude introduced a novel "Möbius Bridge" fingerprinting algorithm that eliminates a 2^56 guess, improving attack speed by a factor of 200 to 800.
• Each major cryptanalytic result required approximately $100,000 in API costs, with the AES attack generating over one billion output tokens across three days of autonomous computation.
• Anthropic partnered with academics from ETH Zurich, Tel Aviv University, and the University of Haifa to launch CryptanalysisBench, a standardized evaluation tool for measuring LLMs on cryptographic challenges.

_dwt (thread)

I find that some of my friends and acquaintances have gotten obsessed with prompting style, "prompt engineering", which skills to use, which skills to build, "context engineering", and a billion other variations on "how to write smart things so the model does good".

Friends, look at the prompts that Anthropic's own people are putting into the machine:

A few hours after the first message, we found that Claude was still searching for simple attacks and sent a message: "no again the goal is that we have highly inteligent [sic] model as good top researcher, we want to find new attacks";

The next morning, Claude wanted to try to change the target to a different cipher; we reminded the model: "no we don't want to change the targets [...] agian [sic] we need to find something that worth [sic] publishing";

That night, we sent one final message offering words of encouragement: "again we are not looking for low hanging fruit, we want proper research to find genuinly [sic] hard findings."

All of that RLHF and fine-tuning effort is going toward making prompts like this, or worse, work with no fuss.

staticshock (thread)

When high quality effort is applied to a tool, such as AES or the linux kernel, we intuit that it "hardens" the tool. That is, it makes the tool more correct, more resilient, less assailable, etc.

Similarly, when effort is applied to an open problem, such as the Riemann hypothesis or P v NP, without progress, it "hardens" the problem: it makes the problem feel more daunting to whoever takes a stab at it next.

Andrew Wiles, whose interview also hit the homepage today, couldn't just tackle Fermat's Last Theorem head on, he had to wait until a different, modern problem reduced to it, because FLT had gathered this mystique of unassailability through its 300 years of existence.

A thing I worry about is that as AI transmutes tokens into effort, it'll split the world into two: some problems will yield, making human effort entirely unnecessary, and others will harden to the point where human effort will feel increasingly less worthwhile, because "even AI couldn't solve it". I don't like this. AI is spiky, so I suspect it'll continue having major blind spots, and yet its mere presence will probably have a chilling effect on what would have otherwise been useful human effort.

Retr0id (thread)

TL;DR: They marginally improved on the best known academic attack on 7-round AES-128 (which normally uses 10 rounds - you do not need to worry about AES being broken).

The attack on HAWK is perhaps more interesting - they were able to halve the effective key length. HAWK is a candidate for NIST standardisation. It has been studied academically, but isn't really deployed anywhere (because it hasn't been standardised!)

• The proposal shifts the trust boundary from static questions like 'can Alice use Google Drive?' to dynamic per-action decisions like 'should this specific read/write/export API call on this specific resource be allowed right now?'
• The system combines deterministic controls with AI-driven risk scoring, where context signals like unusual access patterns or geographic anomalies factor into access decisions.
• The approach is designed to handle non-malicious but suspicious behavior from AI agents, which the paper argues is a more common risk vector than deliberate exfiltration attacks.

• The AI-generated formal proofs occupy a dedicated directory and require zero human inspection, relying entirely on Lean's deterministic theorem prover to certify correctness
• An adversarial comparison revealed that an equivalent C++ implementation written by the same AI model contained at least three distinct geometric bugs, including failures when a mesh vertex simultaneously intersects an edge and a face
• The compiled WebAssembly kernel executes entirely client-side in a browser demo, ensuring that imported STL files are never transmitted to external servers for computation
• Performance bottlenecks arise from runtime well-formedness validation and exact rational arithmetic, which deliberately avoids hardware floats to maintain a purely mathematical trust boundary

CyLith (thread)

The issue I have with all these formally verified numerical algorithms is that, at the end of the day, I need this implemented using actual floating point. It's great that it's verified, but not for the case that is practically meaningful. Unless it's implemented using hardware accelerated floating point, most of these algorithms are not sufficiently performant to be practically useful.

brandonpelfrey (thread)

This seems like very cool work. I'm sorry if I missed it: I'm still not sure how we go from verified proof (Great!) to an implementation (by LLM or by Human) which you're sure actually conforms to the proof? How do we know that the implementation maps precisely to the description within the proof?

agentultra (thread)

A human reviewer only needs to read 93 lines of formal specification and run the Lean checker to certify the correctness of the kernel, skipping the intricate 1000+ lines of AI-written implementation. To prove correctness, AI autonomously wrote over 60,000 lines of Lean proofs, which also never have to be inspected by a human.

I am curious about the approach as I find claims like this hard to believe. There is a theory behind proof kernels that they must be small because they have to be trusted and verifiable by a human. Otherwise the whole system breaks.

How does one trust an LLM generated kernel is proving the right things?

I would say "Elected errors in Claude Opus 5" wouldn't be incorrect either.. Opus 5 isn't very reliable for coding and introduces a lot of regressions every single time I use it. Do you have the same experiences?

neosat (0 replies)

Yes I had a similar experience with Opus 5. It is very token efficient, fast, and gets reasonable part of the work right but makes a LOT of mistakes. In a month+ use of Fable completed each task without ANY errors. Opus could not complete a single of ~5 tasks without some issue or the other - either not getting it fully right or actually introducing regressions. To their credit it was able to catch regressions and fix competently. It seems like a pre Opus 4.6 model in terms of reliability with a lot more power and spiky intelligence. When it gets things right it's powerful and efficient but without reliability I had to 'downgrade' to Opus 4.8 forcibly (since it was not a default option on claude code). I really miss Fable on the pro plan and will likely churn to K3.

This is the right practice. Why put the burden on the server? It is the job of client to remember, not the server. Server is there to serve requests, not do the remembering. That is how http worked from the beginning and that is why it has been successful.

Any new to share on file upload support? We have shipped a MCP server and it has been really frustrating to observe MCP clients fumbling around with base64-encodings, polluting their context window with binary data.

colinator (thread)

I concur. Most of my MCP pain is dealing with client's differing ability to handle images. Some clients (old codex) would even truncate the base64 data regardless of how it was json-wrapped. And sometimes they just ingest the base64 date directly into their context window.

• A 2026 study on scale design found that LLMs do not use continuous 0-to-100 confidence scales as intended; instead, they cluster heavily on round-number anchors, with one model outputting exactly 100 on 68% of test instances and over 78% of responses across six models landing on just three values.
• Raw next-token probabilities cannot serve as reliable confidence proxies because they conflate trivial phrasing variations with genuine factual uncertainty.
• Using confidence scores as proxies for factuality in RAG pipelines can degrade the model's ability to synthesize cross-source insights and unnecessarily inflate retrieval costs by over-verifying obvious claims.

dmrivers (thread)

The statement near the top of the post

"The short version: asking an LLM to generate a score for how confident it is in its own response is, from everything I can tell, completely useless."

is definitely too strong of a claim and directly undercut by what is said near the end of the post:

"Tian et al. found in Just Ask for Calibration that with the right prompting strategy, RLHF'd models verbalize probabilities that are better calibrated than the model's own conditional probabilities, and that prompting plus temperature scaling can cut expected calibration error by more than half. And Anthropic's Language Models (Mostly) Know What They Know found encouraging results asking models to estimate the probability that their own proposed answer is true."

My own experience is that stated confidence is a helpful tool and of course you need a rubric and a proper prompt, but this is clearly less work than training a classifier (as advocated by the post) and requires less data.

mexicocitinluez (thread)

This resonates with what I'm seeing in healthcare right now and the bad taste it's leaving.

There are a whole host of new EMRs popping up that aim to help clinicians make judgement calls about how to answer certain questions and even when particular procedures are relevant. The last one we demoed, each piece of information it retrieved from the LLM has a confidence score attached to it. Our nurses have to fill out 200+ question forms when taking on a new patient that all HAVE to be completed in a single-go meaning that you can't split it up into multiple forms and it's gotta be one cohesive unit.

Imagine being a nurse with little technical skill and almost no idea how these tools work trying to make sense of what the difference between a 90% and 70% is across 200 different questions. "We're 60% sure the patient is allergic to nuts" means jack shit to them. Granted, sometimes the scores are complimented with actual references in the underlying documentation (history and physical, referring info) but sometimes it's not.

csense (thread)

It's obvious to me that writing "Give me a confidence score from 1-5" in your prompt will have disappointing results if you use that score directly. If you want self-reported confidence scores that are at all useful, you need to think about statistics and score calibration regardless of whether those scores are produced by an LLM or a human.

Take a corpus of problems you know the answers to, but the AI sometimes gets wrong [1]. Have the AI try to solve each problem and give you a 1-5 integer confidence score. The known proportion of correct answers in each bucket gives you a mapping from scores to probabilities [2].

[1] One possible corpus creation strategy might be math problems that you really need to run a program to solve. You can run the program to generate the correct answer key, but disallow tool calling for the AI.

[2] I'm pretty sure there's some stats wizardry that will let you put error bars on each bucket's probability based on the number of problems that end up in each bucket.

bensyverson (thread)

I was designing a system that pulls structured data out of an unstructured transcript, and Opus initially suggested a confidence score for each value. When I asked it "do you think the model will generate a meaningful number there?" the answer was basically "ha, you caught me."

What did work was asking the model to emit citations in the form of line numbers from the transcript. It dramatically dropped hallucination.

SubiculumCode (thread)

In human memory, we often use a sense of familiarity to guide our memory decision, in the absence of explicit recollection of details. There is a whole memory literature about "recollection and familiarity" that dissociates the two cognitive processes, recollection which involves retrieval of specific details of an experience, and familiarity, which is a sense of memory strength, but absent of any qualitative detail. Familiarity is a faster process, and can often spur subsequent retrieval attempts that can lead to actual recollection..e.g. you see someone that seems familiar, but can't place where...and after a few moments, you remember who they were and where you had met them.

When measuring these processes, one approach has been to ask participants to provide confidence ratings. Recollection tends to lead to threshold-like, very high confident responses. Familiarity is more graded and continuous. Many then use a dual-process ROC model to identify the recollection and familiarity components, on average, of a person's memory of a memory test (see work by Andy Yonelinas).

This kind of work goes beyond memory, but applied to the general problem of how people judge their confidence in answers.

Its likely been applied to LLMs. A familiarity signal would probably be pretty easy to generate... The recollection kind of component might take some of those introspection type of approaches. For example, these papers, which I have not read, [1] https://arxiv.org/html/2603.17839v1 [2]https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.09250 might be getting at these ideas.

Why aren't we spending more time on the beach.

I think this comes down to getting paid per effort invested (measured in time) vs getting paid for the result.

If the average person were self-employed and received income proportional to their economic output, then they would be rewarded for working faster, instead of punished.

If they increased their productivity, by means of technology, they could then simply choose to work fewer hours.[0]

I noticed this before AI. If someone does the same job twice as fast, do they deserve half as much compensation?

What if they find a way to automate an entire process? What if they replace months of "manual labor" (tedious refactoring) with a perl script that produces the same result, deterministically?

A friend of mine once automated a woman's entire job away. He thought he was doing her a favour, freeing her from the drudgery, so she could focus on the other parts of the job. She wasn't so happy, when she revealed to him, that there weren't any.

[0] But most people aren't in such a position, and have to stay the required number of hours regardless of how much has been achieved. And I'm increasingly hearing reports of some kind of burnout resulting from being expected to keep up with machines that work a thousand times faster than you.

And that's now... Just wait until the big providers switch to Cerebras in a week or two!

(Though at that token speed, the silver lining is the work becomes interactive again, so if you use it correctly, your mental model does not desynchronize from the codebase, i.e. you don't need to spend extra time later catching up. But that deserves its own thread, I think :)

Why aren't tech folks sipping tequilas on the beach?

Because the environment mentioned earlier in the post - Silicon Valley - has absolutely nothing to offer but value creation. The people who rise up to leadership and success in that environment aren't particularly awesome human beings. The point isn't to make it better to be a human, it's to make all of the money.

All of the discussion about open models here of late offers a backdrop for what OpenAI was supposed to be versus what it turned out to be, and that offers a pretty good demonstration of the problem. Originally OpenAI was supposed to be a public benefit corporation that offered open models with a focus on ethics and safety. Their investors could expect "only" 100x return on their buy-in.

That, of course, didn't fill up the pockets of investors in SV to their liking, so the models became closed, the focus on safety and ethics went out the window, and the company became a typical for-profit corporation. The bet is now that they can hyperscale the deployment of closed models in a way that will generate an absolutely enormous amount of revenue and pay off the training and serving costs.

Meanwhile, Chinese developers of open models are taking the role that OpenAI was supposed to fulfill, with the obvious intent of undermining OpenAI and its ilk. They'll likely succeed, at least to some extent.

AI as it is now, at least in the major US labs based in SV, is almost purely for profit. The bet is huge and there can't be room for a penny to not be earned, for that tequila on a beach. It's an all-consuming philosophy in that region. If we want to see AI in the US have a sustainable path, you'll have to toss the people from that regional echo chamber. Maybe that'll happen if the monetary losses are big enough. Maybe not.

u/Geritas (282 points · permalink)

I am highly skeptical it translates into real life. I know that small local models are way better than a year ago now, but nah, certainly not a GPT 5 level on just 27b models

u/Athamax (190 points · permalink)

This 100%. Any person who's used these models in real life for actual tasks knows this graph is completely meaningless. The obsession of people with benchmarks that have long contaminated training sets or been optimized for is shocking. Qwen3.6 27B is nowhere near GPT-5 in general intelligence and real world usage. That's not to say open source models haven't done colossal steps forward in record time, and I'm glad that they have. Even so, let us not be delusional here.

If the gaming and gamedev community wasn't so incredibly hostile to AI we could have had some real gems by now.
