Thorsten explores Q2 2026 stats, the artificial buffer zone of 2026, and why smart, prioritized patching is more critical than ever.
Welcome to this week’s edition of the Threat Source newsletter.   Lately I've found myself thinking a lot about the Australian TV series Mr. Inbetween (IMDb 8. 7/10) — not because I'm a hitman for hire, but because I literally feel in-between. Specifically, in-between what I'd call the "pre-Mythos" and “post-Mythos” eras. We've crossed a capability threshold, and it's not just one model family driving that — Codex 5. 3 and GPT-5. 5 deliver comparable or better performance , and Tulongfeng or GLM-5.
2 (an incredibly powerful open-weight model, MIT-licensed) show the frontier isn't limited to closed models anymore.   On the other side of that line, real-world impact hasn't caught up yet and we're living in an artificial buffer zone.
