Model Alloys: A Secret Weapon for Boosting AI Performance
2025-07-21
The XBOW team dramatically improved the performance of its vulnerability detection agents using a clever technique called "model alloys." This approach leverages the strengths of different LLMs (like Google Gemini and Anthropic Sonnet), alternating between them within a single chat thread to overcome the limitations of individual models. Experiments showed this "alloy" strategy increased success rates to over 55%, significantly outperforming individual models. This technique isn't limited to cybersecurity; it's relevant for any AI agent task requiring solutions within a vast search space.
