Sept 21 : Belgian cybersecurity firm Aikido on Monday released an open-weight artificial intelligence model designed for cybersecurity applications, seeking to help companies use AI security tools without sending sensitive code to external providers.
Rising concern over criminals using AI to identify and exploit software vulnerabilities has fuelled demand for defensive AI tools that can be run locally.
• ‘Altar’ is a compressed & customized version of Z.AI’s open model GLM-5.3 and will be available openly for local deployments, the company said
• The model will be deployed in Aikido solutions deployed to customers such as Belgian bank Belfius.
