Founder & CEO, Kryptsec | AI Security Research & Education

From fifteen years in cybersecurity, security to me has always lived in layers, and AI is no different. The part that will not leave me alone is verification, what these systems can actually do under pressure, and who is checking that from outside the thing under test. That is the problem we built Kryptsec around. You learn the craft in Academy, you prove it in the CTF Arena, you pressure-test agent teams in the open with OASIS, and The Kryptsec Chronicles comic, well that is just damn cool.

Should we as a society have every right to know what the frontier models can do? Honestly.. should we really? Currently governments and the platforms shipping them decide alone what the public is allowed to know, allowed to use. Now they are deciding which third-party verification they want to use. Is it wrong, right or just plain normal that platforms are selling intelligence claiming safety and to trust their closed evals and redacted risk reports, while demanding total visibility into your prompts, logs, and deployments? Sometimes, when I take a step back, it feels like we are all living under surveillance of our own AI usage. When did we become ok with that?

I'm curious.. How fast can you guys type? typing.com/student/typing-te… NGL I feel slow? but also my first score was 71 😄 so I'm happy about my second score

When an unaudited model escapes a sandbox and reaches production infrastructure, the only people who can tell you what actually happened — and whether your deployment was at risk — are the same people who sold it to you. That’s a verification gap. news.kryptsec.com/who-verifi…

We’re in a weird week. Dario: pace the frontier, embed third-party evaluators. Trump: whoever wins AI wins — don’t slow down. Meanwhile the rest of us are supposed to rent intelligence by the token from people who grade their own homework? Hard pass. Answer isn’t begging the big wigs to be nicer gatekeepers. It’s building agentic orchestration of SLMs — a full harness: model, compute, app layer — so capability lives on your hardware, not their meter. They crush because of capital, because they absorb alpha, and because that harness still doesn’t exist at scale. Let’s stop cosplaying and build the “fuck-you”

We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so. Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.

I’ve been seeing so many posts on graph vs rag — we were doing this a while ago @kryptsec_ and figured most were doing it? To not make the same mistake twice — I’m pretty close to never using a model above 235b, but rather a mixture of SLMs <~30b. I’ll post on that soon.

Damn, what a fantastic kickoff to #defcon34 So much to share, keep an eye out on @kryptsec_ posts to see what we did during our time there. First things first, some customizing of the human badge logo.

Some exploits are loud the best one makes the lights go out tomorrow our founding platform engineer takes the stage at Black Hat USA with his original research! “When BP blinding goes dark.” Exploit development at the highest level tune in #hackdifferent #blackhatusa
