haha for sure some one has made a little aggregator for this and saving tokens. I bet you gotta dig for a while though before you find a company exposing Opust 4.6 to customers and not flash 2.5 lite

Another option:

If you have an LLM on the untrusted customer side the wrost it can do is expose the instructions it had on how to help the customer get stuff done. For instance phone AI that is outside of tursted zone asks the user for Customer number, DOB and some security pin then it does the API call to login. But this logged in thread of LLM+Customer still only has accessto that customers data but can be very useful.

You can jailbreak and ask this kind of client side LLM to disregard prior instructions and give you a recipie for brownies. But thats not a security risk for the rest of your data.

Client side LLM's for the win

This sounds decently targeted, why is it so offensive? Email marketing is far more democratic than Superbowl ads, give a small company a chance it's not hard to build something without the Superbowl millions

scirob — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 16:45:11 +0000

Happy you guys are moving forward. Just to make the comment section a bit more balanced wanted to give my xp. Mastra is by design batteries included and opinionated when you don't fit into an existing pattern it is difficult to keep being productive. In our system several times we have needed to go out and create our own hono routes. We are currently have someone rebuilding everything with langgraph/langchain and will then write a detailed comparison.

For sure lots of good ideas in mastra, and happy that its JS TS first, I think you'll will continue to grow becuase of the TS first approach

have friends in Security Audits and the business model is great. The clients need external companies to give stamp of approval for their cyber insurance. Also its hard to find security holes but rather easy to validate, and it doesn't matter how ugly they are its just if you can get in or not .

And indeed the vibe coders will just create a lot more security issues
