## What it is
A curated, continuously-updated awesome-list indexing research papers, projects, datasets, and benchmarks on using large language models for software vulnerability detection. It covers function-level, repository-level, agentic, and smart-contract detection approaches.

## Use cases
- find papers on LLM-based vulnerability detection
- research benchmarks for security-focused LLMs
- survey the state of the art in AI code security analysis
- find datasets for training vulnerability detection models
- keep up with new agentic vulnerability discovery research
- find open-source tools for LLM-powered security scanning

## When to choose
- you are researching LLM applications in software security
- you need a starting point for a literature review on vulnerability detection
- you want to find datasets or benchmarks for security LLM evaluation

## When to avoid
- you need a working vulnerability detection tool rather than a paper index
- you want general LLM research beyond security
- you need a maintained software library with an API

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: security, developer-tools, documentation
- domain: security, large-language-models, awesome-lists, artificial-intelligence, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: awesome-list, vulnerability-detection, llm, code-security, static-analysis, papers, benchmarks, smart-contracts, agentic-ai
