Google DeepMind · 6 October 2025

CodeMender is a Gemini-based agent that finds and patches software vulnerabilities, with 72 fixes already upstreamed to open-source projects, some in 4.5M-line codebases.

Combines Gemini Deep Think reasoning with program-analysis tools and automated validation so patches are checked before human review. Both reactive patching and proactive hardening of code.
