Nathan Lambert says models that are strong at offensive cybersecurity are likely also strong at defense, and that defensive results get less attention because they draw fewer clicks.

His post comments on a Vals AI benchmark that found DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 beat GPT 6 Sol on a multi-step offensive cybersecurity task. The post reports the benchmark result, but Lambert's claim about defensive ability is his own assessment and no defensive test is cited in the report.
