Aether: why we built our own security AI.

General-purpose models do not understand how real attacks unfold. So we trained one that does — and kept it exclusively for AvalonX.

A model that can write a phishing email is not the same as a model that can reason about your attack surface. The second one needs data nobody is publishing: real engagements, real attack chains, real outcomes. We have nine years of it.

Serious intelligence

Aether runs at roughly 400 billion parameters, built specifically to reason through complex attack chains, uncover business-logic flaws, and connect vulnerabilities that other tools only ever see in isolation.

An advantage nobody else has

Nine years of proprietary offensive-security data, backed by 60 billion dark-web records. That corpus is not available to buy, and it is the difference between flagging a weakness and understanding what an attacker would actually do with it.

Attack-path reasoning

The useful question is rarely “is this vulnerable?” — it is “what does this let someone do?” Aether connects individual weaknesses into the paths that lead to real compromise, which is what lets us tell you what to fix first.

Exclusive by design

There is no public API and no licensing programme. Aether exists for one reason: to power AvalonX.
