Advanced AI models are becoming weapons. Governments are preparing for AI-driven swarm attacks, and the upcoming Quen 27B model, optimized to run on consumer hardware like MacBooks, is expected to enable large-scale coordinated attacks that will be difficult to stop.

Imad, how does this— how is this viewed from the other side of the pond? I mean, it's very difficult. The AI Institute here has been doing a lot of great work on the cyber side, and I agree with Alex, this is on the cyber bio side. I think the people that volunteer will get multibillion-dollar government contracts from the Department of War because we're entering the final phase of this. These models are really, really good at attack as well as defense. In fact, you have to use the open models for defense. And I think actually, we just talked about Quen. Quen Max isn't the main important model. The main important model is going to be Quen 27B that they're going to drop. Quen 27B is the best model for 16GB RAM, MacBooks to graphics cards to everything. And that's the first model probably that will score above 50 on artificial analysis or around there that can then be co-opted for swarm attacks. And so I think the governments are getting ready for swarm attacks, swarm defense, and more. And again, they're trying to balance this because it's so difficult, because how do you stop it?
