I haven't seen much of that. But that also applies to the ones on defense.

And more flaws are probably going to take increasing resources to find.

Might want to look at Nvidia and TSM production and revenue value trajectories. Also the algorithmic improvements currently being found along with models that are solving unprecedented mathematical and scientific problems every week now.

Then you must not be aware frontier lab employees are using frontier internal models to ship improvements to models via agentic loops. They are hardly prompting anymore, it's guiding very long running coding tasks. The trajectory over the past few years has been to remove more and more of any human input into the process, and once that is soon achieved, it is indefinite recursive self improvement, RSI.
