How much does it cost to scan the entire PHP codebase with AI?
@gregxsunday tested 6 frontier models and calculated the projected cost of a full scan based on our results.
The cheapest: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash at ~$800.
The most expensive: Claude Opus 5.5 at ~$18,200.

Last week's PHP2Shell vulnerability was discovered through OpenAI's Patch the Planet initiative.
But can you really find critical bugs just by asking an LLM?
We tested six frontier models on vulnerable PHP code to see what they'd catch and at what cost.
@gregxsunday tested Jev on 31 real vulnerability reports before we considered using it inside VIDOC.
He compared it with 7 other models to see whether the speed and low cost were worth the trade-off in accuracy.
