Metis: Unleashing AI for Deep Security Code Review! 🧠💻

Tired of subtle *logic flaws* and tricky *design bugs* slipping past your traditional tools? 😫 Arm's Product Security team has the answer: *Metis**! Named after the Greek goddess of wisdom, this powerful, **AI-driven tool* is revolutionizing how we approach **security code review**.

*What makes Metis different?*
Metis uses *Large Language Models (LLMs)* combined with a *Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture* to move beyond standard rule-based detection. Unlike Static Application Security Testing (**SAST**) tools that only see patterns, Metis builds a custom knowledge base from your source files and documentation, giving it a deep understanding of the code's context and *intent*.

This context-awareness allows Metis to uncover complex issues that conventional tools miss, such as pointer misuse or broken assumptions in control flow. It has demonstrated strong potential during internal trials, finding previously undetected vulnerabilities and achieving a high true positive rate of around 95%.

*Key Features for Engineers:*
*Context-Aware Analysis:* Metis reasons about logic and mirrors how experienced engineers review code.
*Clear Explanations:* Instead of just Rule IDs, Metis provides natural language summaries explaining why a vulnerability matters and offering mitigation steps. This helps developers resolve issues faster! ⚡
*Extensible & Open Source:* Metis is available on **GitHub as an open source project**. It currently supports C, C++, Python, Rust, and TypeScript, and its plugin framework allows for adding support for other languages and LLMs.

Help us accelerate progress in the AI security space! Try Metis on your next C or C++ project, or jump in and contribute support for new languages or prompt templates. Let’s build more *secure software* by design! 🏗️✨
