Cisco Antares: helping to make AI secure for all
Cisco has introduced Antares, a family of small-language model (SLM) security tools designed to help analysts localize vulnerabilities within large code repositories.
Why it matters
It allows organizations with limited budgets or strict privacy requirements to run security scans locally. This reduces reliance on expensive cloud-based AI and prevents exposing sensitive source code to third parties.
The details
- Two versions are available as open-weight releases on Hugging Face.
- Models come in 350 billion, 1 billion, and 3 billion parameters.
- The 3B model is gated to ensure responsible usage.
