Automates bug bounty triage with Sonnet for $58 a month, CSO says Mythos would cost $200k
Cloudflare has used AI to automate processing of incoming reports to its bug bounty program for $58 a month using Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet model and chose it partly because using the AI company’s security-specific Mythos model would burn through around $200,000 a month to do the same job.
