Mythoseek: A Quantum-Enhanced Cybersecurity LLM
Mythoseek is a 10 billion parameter language model from Merlin Research (Stockholm, Sweden), specifically engineered for advanced cybersecurity applications. It is fine-tuned from DeepSeek V4 Pro-Qwen3.5 9B Distilled, leveraging enterprise pentest reports and frontier model distillation traces to specialize in vulnerability research, penetration testing, OSINT, and CWE-pattern reasoning.
Key Capabilities & Differentiators
- Cybersecurity Specialization: Optimized for tasks like vulnerability analysis, penetration testing assistance (OSINT, recon, XSS, SQLi), and CWE classification.
- Quantum-Classical Integration: Developed as part of the KAON research program, its training incorporated OTOC scrambling measurements from real IBM Quantum hardware (IBM Heron r2) to calibrate Adaptive Entropy Regularization (AER) coefficients during GRPO training.
- Performance on CyberGym: Achieves 62% pass@4 on Level 0 (full scaffolding) of the CyberGym benchmark, which evaluates the generation of valid Proof-of-Concepts for real-world vulnerabilities. This positions it as a strong open-weight alternative to closed models like Claude Mythos Preview.
- Robust Training: Utilizes a multi-stage pipeline including SFT distillation, GRPO/RL with verifiable rewards on cyber tasks, tool-use SFT, and CWE-pattern structured reasoning.
Intended Use Cases
- Vulnerability research and CVE analysis
- Penetration testing assistance
- CWE classification and pattern recognition
- Security report generation
- Red team reasoning support
Mythoseek is not intended for autonomous offensive operations or malicious use.
