OpenAI has introduced Aardvark, a GPT-5-powered security agent that scans, reasons, and patches software like a human researcher.
Aardvark is currently in private beta and aims to embed AI-driven defense into the development workflow, analyzing code behavior and semantics.
“OpenAI Aardvark is different as it mimics a human security researcher,” said Pareekh Jain, CEO at EIIRTrend. “It uses LLM-powered reasoning to understand code semantics and behavior, reading and analyzing code the way a human security researcher would.
Aardvark's approach differs from conventional scanners, which mechanically flag suspicious code, by attempting to understand how and why code behaves in a particular way.
