Antares-1B is a openly weighted 1-billion-parameter language model developed by Cisco (Foundation AI), specifically trained for vulnerability localization in source code repositories. It is based on the IBM Granite 4.0 1B backbone and operates as a terminal agent that autonomously searches repositories using shell commands (grep, find, cat) to identify suspicious files. The model was released alongside the smaller Antares-350M on July 21, 2026 under Apache 2.0 license on Hugging Face; a larger Antares-3B model remains unpublished for now. Cisco positions Antares as a cost-effective, locally deployable alternative to large cloud AI models for security teams.
