Fabraix on the record

What they shipped

  • From its YC profile: Fabraix builds state-of-the-art AI red-teaming agents that continuously detect security vulnerabilities in customer-facing AI. Our product, Nyx, has already found vulnerabilities in agents at dozens of Fortune 500 companies. On AgentHarm, the leading benchmark for offensive AI security, Nyx achieved a 78% attack success rate, compared with 67% for GPT-5.6 Sol. AI agents can change more often than teams can test them. A new model, prompt, tool, permission, or data source can change what an agent does, even when the application code stays the same. (source)

Who is behind it

  • Ahmed Aly, Founder/CEO: Co-founder @ Fabraix, building a frontier hacker agent that finds failure modes and security exploits in AI systems before real users do. Previously the first data scientist at Sequoia-backed Two, where he built AI systems for adversarial environments from scratch and scaled them to process $1B+ in annual B2B transactions, averting $50M in losses for multiple Fortune 150 companies. (source)
  • ibrahim abdu, Founder/CTO: Red-teamed AI agents in Meta's Privacy org; built an SRE agent triaging 3M+ errors/month, saving 10,000+ engineering hours a year. Built a compiler for insider-trading detection at TradingHub: $100M+ in daily trades; Oxford PPE, top 8% of cohort. (source)
