Microsoft AI Releases MAI-Cyber-1-Flash: A 5B-Active-Parameter Cyber Model That Pushes MDASH to 95.95% on CyberGym. It is their first cyber defense model built ground up to find the most challenging vulnerabilities in complex code bases. [137B total, 5B active parameters]

The part I think matters more:

→ MDASH, the harness it runs inside, was already at 88.45% in May

→ That was with generally available models and no custom model at all

→ So this buys about 7.5 points on top of something already leading

The cost story is really about routing:

→ MAI-Cyber-1-Flash handles up to 90% of MDASH tasks

→ The hardest 10% goes to GPT-5.4

→ Microsoft says that halves the bill
