This is slightly old news at this point - the BSides conference was in March, this article was published in May, we've had a whole lot of additional evidence since May that makes it unsurprising that AI can solve CTF challenges!
Here's the repo mentioned in the story: https://github.com/verialabs/ctf-agent https://github.com/verialabs/ctf-agent
> Autonomous CTF solver that races multiple AI models in parallel. 1st place BSidesSF 2026.
That one hasn't had any commits since March 28th. Looks like it was running Claude Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.4.
I expect Opus 5 and GPT-5.6-Sol would be even more effective.
(Fable 5 would refuse the challenge, Mythos 5 would undoubtedly nail it.)
