Applying LLMs for security related tasks has been a hot topic recently.

Here's a thread of certain material which caught my eye! 🧵

The second big area is augmenting language models with the ability to use tools and agentic approaches:

12/ More software engineering than security directly, however, core concepts agentic frameworks are built on:

There's so much going on in this area right now! What have I missed?
