CodeMender code security agent, directly actionable.
Summary
Google is expanding access to CodeMender, its AI agent for code security that flags and fixes vulnerabilities, after debuting the tool last October. DeepMind CTO Kavukcuoglu framed it as helping secure global code bases, as Google competes with Anthropic's Mythos Preview and OpenAI's similar offering. CEO Pichai credited Mythos for demonstrating large model value in security, with Google already in talks with governments and enterprises.
