Cisco Doubles Down on AI with 17-Billion Parameter Model: Cybersecurity’s New Powerhouse or Just More AI Hype?
Cisco’s new AI model, clocking in at a whopping 17 billion parameters, is set to outmuscle its predecessor, Foundation-Sec-8B. This model aims to not just detect threats but offer advice on tackling them too. Expect its debut just after Christmas—because nothing says holiday spirit like bolstering cyber defenses!
Hot Take:
Looks like Cisco is doubling down on its AI game, with a new model so large it might just need its own zip code. But hey, when it comes to cybersecurity, bigger brains mean better brawn, right? Let’s hope this AI doesn’t develop a taste for world domination—or worse, start giving unsolicited life advice!
Key Points:
- Cisco is developing a new AI model boasting 17 billion parameters, more than doubling its current Foundation-Sec-8B model.
- The new model aims to enhance threat detection and provide advisory steps for addressing security issues.
- Data from Cisco’s Talos threat intelligence team, with 30 years of insights, will feed into this model.
- Cisco’s AI models are open source but power proprietary products, like Splunk tools, for data analysis.
- The new model is expected to launch shortly after Christmas, but details on other AI initiatives remain scarce.
