Specialized AI detects 92% of real world DeFi exploits. And what it talks about here is they did a purpose-built agent. They pretty much fed it a bunch of different pros, a bunch of different information and said, "We want you to be the ultimate uh agent that extrapolates and looks at the different exploits for these DeFi which have already happened.
