For the last two years, the security industry’s AI narrative has centered on offense: how quickly large language models can find bugs, chain exploits, and surface vulnerabilities that would have taken human researchers weeks to uncover. That capability is real, and it’s accelerating — efforts like Anthropic’s Project Glasswing have demonstrated AI-driven vulnerability discovery operating at a scale no human red team could match.

That success has pushed a growing number of security and platform teams toward an obvious next question: if AI is this good at finding vulnerabilities, can it also fix them? Vendors have raced to answer “yes.” OpenAI’s Project Daybreak, announced in June alongside a coalition of partners, was explicitly framed around using AI to “patch the planet” — closing the remediation gap at the same speed AI is widening the discovery gap.

New research from 1Password’s newly formed security research group, Off-by-1 Labs, suggests CIOs...
