Organizations are increasingly relying on AI-generated and third-party code across the software supply chain. But once that code is compiled into a stripped binary, much of the original source context disappears, leaving security teams with limited visibility into what’s actually running and unable to detect malicious code entering production systems.

RevEng.AI is bridging that gap with Mega Bite, a suite of specialized AI models purpose-built for binary analysis. It includes two new proprietary models, WilBERT and Ventris, designed to analyze binary software without requiring access to source code while uncovering context that traditional decompilers and general-purpose LLMs can miss.

Check out the blog and watch this video to see how AI-powered binary analysis can give security teams deeper visibility into the software they run, with the speed and reliability to match real-world security operations.
