What if two AI models could collaborate without knowing it? Our Head of AI, Albert Ziegler developed "model alloys" - alternating between different LLMs in a single conversation. Sonnet handles some steps, Gemini others, but neither knows about the switch. Result: 55% solve…
Exciting innovation in AI: Agent "Alloys" The team at @Xbow just shared research showing that combining different AI models creates something more powerful than the sum of its parts - just like metal alloys. The results are striking: • Single model success rate: 57.5% •…
Introducing MirageLSD: The First Live-Stream Diffusion (LSD) AI Model Input any video stream, from a camera or video chat to a computer screen or game, and transform it into any world you desire, in real-time (<40ms latency). Here’s how it works (w/ demo you can use!):

When standard SQL injection vectors fail, dig deeper. ⚡️New XBOW discovery: Z-Push vulnerability hidden in Basic Authentication username field. Response timing differences revealed PostgreSQL time-based injection where obvious targets were clean. Full analysis:…
A simple trick I use to evaluate AI startups: I put my finger over the word "AI" in their pitch deck and ask: "Does this still make sense as a business?" After seeing hundreds of AI pitches, here's what I've learned: 1. Strong companies pass this test easily: - Clear revenue…
Check this XSS affecting every /aura instance on the internet 🎉 again, fully discovered by @Xbow We’ve shared the full trace in case anyone is interested.
Sometimes the most illogical approach wins. XBOW discovered XSS in Salesforce Aura by testing aura.format=JSON - which counterintuitively returns text/html content type instead of JSON. The kind of discovery that comes from systematic testing without assumptions. Full hunt…
