The Security Pass Rate on AI Generated Code Has Not Moved in a Year, and Better Models Did Not Help
Veracode has now evaluated more than 150 models and the average security pass rate sits at about 56%, against 55% in their first report. Across that same period coding benchmarks improved steadily, larger models did not outperform smaller ones, and vendor claims about security aware training did not correspond to measured outcomes. A capability that stays flat while adjacent capabilities improve is telling you the bottleneck is somewhere other than the model.
