Savant Chat AI Secures Top 6 Spot in Sherlock DeFi Audit Contest, Rivaling Human Experts
Savant Chat, an advanced AI agent for smart contract audits, has achieved a historic milestone by ranking sixth in a competitive Sherlock DeFi audit contest. This marks the first public demonstration of AI performance matching expert human auditors in Web3 security.
The achievement is particularly notable as audit contests are designed for human participants, with success heavily dependent on precise bug reporting and persuasive justification during judging. Savant Chat's Pro plan, described as an early glimpse of June 2025 technology, overcame these human-optimized barriers despite the contest featuring no critical or high-severity vulnerabilities where the AI typically excels.
