An unreleased cyber model drove a five-stage agentic pipeline that analyzed 2,308 candidates, reproduced 1,724 vulnerabilities and produced 948 local privilege-escalation exploits in a 30-hour run costing $1,213,430 in API credits (~$1,279 each). Agents used at least 10 novel Linux exploitation techniques; a July run with GPT-5.6 Sol yielded 166 LPEs.
