Ideal for developer tools, educational platforms, and consumer applications. --- ## ๐Ÿšจ The Problem This Solves **AI coding assistants produce vulnerable code in 45% of security-relevant scenarios** (Veracode 2025). When developers rely on standard code models for security-sensitive features like authentication, authorization, or data handling, they unknowingly introduce critical vulnerabilities. **Real-world costs:** - **Equifax breach** (SQL injection): $425 million in damages + brand destruction - **Capital One** (SSRF attack): 100 million customer records exposed, $80M fine - **SolarWinds** (authentication bypass): 18,000 organizations compromised - **LastPass** (cryptographic failures): 30 million users' password vaults at risk This model was trained to prevent these exact scenarios by understanding security at the code level. --- ## ๐Ÿ’ก What is This? This is **Llama 3.2 3B Instruct** fine-tuned on the **SecureCode v2.0 dataset** - a production-grade collection of 1,209 security-focused coding examples covering the complete OWASP Top 10:2025. Unlike standard code models that frequently generate vulnerable code, this model has been specifically trained to: โœ… **Recognize security vulnerabilities** in code across 11 programming languages โœ… **Generate secure implementations** with defense-in-depth patterns โœ… **Explain attack vectors** with concrete exploitation examples โœ… **Provide operational guidance** including SIEM integration, logging, and monitoring **The Result:** A code assistant that thinks like a security engineer, not just a developer. **Why 3B Parameters?** At only 3B parameters, this is the **most accessible** security-focused code model. It runs on: - ๐Ÿ’ป Consumer laptops with 8GB+ RAM - ๐Ÿ“ฑ Apple Silicon Macs (M1/M2/M3/M4) - ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Desktop GPUs (RTX 3060+, even RTX 2060) - โ˜๏ธ Free Colab/Kaggle notebooks - ๐Ÿ”Œ Edge devices and embedded systems Perfect for developers who want security guidance without requiring datacenter infrastructure. --- ## ๐Ÿ” Security Training Coverage ### Real-World Vulnerability Distribution Trained on 1,209 security examples with real CVE grounding: | OWASP Category | Examples | Real Incidents | |----------------|----------|----------------| | **Broken Access Control** | 224 | Equifax, Facebook, Uber | | **Authentication Failures** | 199 | SolarWinds, Okta, LastPass | | **Injection Attacks** | 125 | Capital One, Yahoo, LinkedIn | | **Cryptographic Failures** | 115 | LastPass, Adobe, Dropbox | | **Security Misconfiguration** | 98 | Tesla, MongoDB, Elasticsearch | | **Vulnerable Components** | 87 | Log4Shell, Heartbleed, Struts | | **Identification/Auth Failures** | 84 | Twitter, GitHub, Reddit | | **Software/Data Integrity** | 78 | SolarWinds, Codecov, npm | | **Logging Failures** | 71 | Various incident responses | | **SSRF** | 69 | Capital One, Shopify | | **Insecure Design** | 59 | Architectural flaws | ### Multi-Language Support Fine-tuned on security examples across: - **Python** (Django, Flask, FastAPI) - 280 examples - **JavaScript/TypeScript** (Express, NestJS, React) - 245 examples - **Java** (Spring Boot) - 178 examples - **Go** (Gin framework) - 145 examples - **PHP** (Laravel, Symfony) - 112 examples - **C#** (ASP.NET Core) - 89 examples - **Ruby** (Rails) - 67 examples - **Rust** (Actix, Rocket) - 45 examples - **C/C++** (Memory safety) - 28 examples - **Kotlin, Swift** - 20 examples --- ## ๐ŸŽฏ Deployment Scenarios ### Scenario 1: IDE Integration (VS Code / Cursor / JetBrains) **Perfect fit for real-time security suggestions in developer IDEs.** **Hardware:** Developer laptop with 8GB+ RAM **Latency:** ~50ms per completion (local inference) **Use Case:** Real-time security linting and code review ```python # Example: Cursor IDE integration from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, BitsAndBytesConfig from peft import PeftModel # Load quantized for fast IDE response bnb_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(load_in_4bit=True) model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained( "meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct", quantization_config=bnb_config, device_map="auto" ) model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(model, "scthornton/llama-3.2-3b-securecode") # Now: Real-time security suggestions as you code ``` **ROI:** Catch vulnerabilities **before** they reach code review.
