> Data. Our deepest advantage. Decades of building world-class security systems now give us trillions of daily signals across identity, endpoint, cloud, and network, and an unmatched record of real exploits and remediations. No one can manufacture this history.
If I'm being frivolous, does this mean Microsoft's model is best at fixing Microsoft products because they have trillions of data points on problems with Microsoft products
All the US companies are keeping their "cyber" models locked down for special customers. So, it seems like anyone who isn't at a Fortune 500 or whatever qualifies for access, will be using Chinese models for vulnerability research.
I would, most of these cybersecurity models have not been made available to the public and the larger models have guardrails in place for certain cybersecurity tasks unless you've been specifically approved.
I've been noticing the uptick of beige + serif fonts + art with rough textures in this space. It feels like an attempt to humanize the technology and make it more palatable to people. Anthropic is the biggest example of this language with its ads and promotions.
Seems like MAI models from Microsoft are not going to be open-weight soon, but they are sharing a lot of details in the making of these models, which is a weird position.
I think the idea is show in-house progress and perhaps position MAI models as the "microsoft office of AI." My take is they might open source models 2-3 release cycles later, given this is supposed to be some new product line.
They haven't even released the "big" version of Anteres, yet (and the "big" version is only 3B, so there's no way it's competitive with general purpose frontiers for vulnerability research). It seems like a research project. Maybe it's good for rapid triage and CI usage, but almost certainly not at all useful for general "find bugs" usage.
and it seems this site was generated with ai and then not reviewed before publishing. the layout of the content below the header doesn't really make sense and the "LI X FB" for LinkedIn, X, and Facebook is super unintuitive until you click one - and even after clicking one, i thought it was a collaboration between LinkedIn and Facebook tbh. then the animations are jarring and don't obey my reduced motion system settings, which isnt uncommon but i would expect it from Microsoft. finally, the "Explore all jobs" button at the bottom is just bizarrely designed and animated.
Not surprising considering out of all the things MS is known for, UX consistency is certainly not one of them. They have probably the weakest commitment to a design language across all the big tech cos.
It's a trend that signals a form of non-chronically-online intellectualism. Feels reminiscent of intellectual slop [1] content on the web that is in vogue
I know... Hovering over Accessibility Mode in the bottom left displays like it is clickable, but alas, only the tiny off button inside the pill is really clickable. I clicked on the text one too many times before realizing it wasn't actually selectable...
Ignoring my first immediate knee-jerk reaction to the blog and taking it at face value - I do tend to agree with Alex Karp on data becoming the moat for enterprises. Hyperscalers and the like are not different - it makes 0 sense to make swaths of business’s alpha available to potential future competitors. Even if MS and OAI are “friends”. Balkanization of cyber seems inevitable.
I can't even joke about Microsoft, I just feel pity for them. So long at the game and reduced from a dominating software house to slop fabric with no professional honor to deliver a product with certain quality level.
Their cash cow customers are doofuses that decide over government contracts to be wined & dined, their best employees use macbooks, it's a sad shell of what has been.

"You're absolutely right, I shouldn't have delete your entire C drive. That's on me."
In serious, this would be a good advantage for Microsoft to consider, I just doubt they'd do it well.

And I am 90% sure that Claude design was used to build the website.
I wouldn't be surprised if they added MAI-Cyber 1 there too.
Which is precisely why I've preferred the Solarized Light Theme for years now.
They can’t decide on naming their product in Azure, let alone creating something useful or usable

Only OpenAI's blog looks like the WordPress _Twenty Twenty Five_ theme.
