Summary
Google is expanding access to CodeMender, an AI-powered code security tool originally debuted in October 2024. At I/O, the company announced it is inviting select expert groups to test the API, making the tool more widely available externally. Google DeepMind CTO Koray Kavukcuoglu positioned it as a way to "help secure the world's code bases" by both flagging and fixing vulnerabilities. The article also notes Anthropic's surprise Claude Mythos Preview announcement as a contrasting development in the AI space.
