Six Days to a Chrome Exploit
XBOW used AI agents running OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Sol to build a Chrome exploit from three previously unknown bugs in six days, earning a $250,000 Google bug bounty. The striking hook was the speed and modest computing cost: about $40,000, compared with months of work the team says a human-led effort would once have taken.
Why it worked: It framed a billion-user, patched-now threat with a hard ROI stat—six days, $40k, $250k payout—showing AI collapsing exploit timelines.
The lesson: Consider pitching a timeboxed build: give yourself 72 hours, spend a fixed budget, and report cost, output, and concrete impact.
