Three figures that do not tell a single story

Google says Carbon scored 88.2% on SEC-bench Pro, a test for detecting vulnerabilities in real programs. The idea is that the model can uncover complex flaws within a large codebase, where looking at a single file is not enough. But finding something suspicious does not yet tell us how urgently it needs to be fixed. Exactly. That is where the second step comes in: checking whether the flaw can be exploited. For a defense team, that check helps distinguish between findings and decide which need attention first. Google reports a score of 54.8% for Carbon on ExploitGym, a test focused on that capability. Can we read that 54.8% as a continuation of the cases in the 88.2%? No. These are different tests, with different tasks. The figures describe how Carbon performed in each evaluation; they do not represent a single chain in which it detected, validated, and fixed the same set of flaws. Google also specifies that these external evaluations were conducted without the model’s safeguards enabled.
