Alphabet Inc.’s Google DeepMind lab today shared results for CodeMender, an artificial intelligence-powered agent that automatically detects, patches and rewrites vulnerable code to prevent future exploits. CodeMember builds on DeepMind’s previous AI-based vulnerability discovery projects such as Big Sleep and OSS-Fuzz, by combining the reasoning power of Gemini Deep Think models with advanced program analysis techniques. The aim is to debug and repair complex security flaws autonomously across massive codebases. While still only in a research phase, CodeMender has already submitted 72 security fixes to open-source projects, including those spanning more than 4.5 million lines of code. According to DeepMind, CodeMender’s AI-powered agent helps developers and maintainers focus on what they do best — building good software — by automatically creating and applying high-quality security patches. CodeMender is designed to be both reactive and proactive by instantly patching discovered vulnerabilities and also rewriting existing code to eliminate entire classes of flaws.
