Wire reporting: (Reuters, via CNA)
Tencent on Wednesday released Hy4, an open-source artificial intelligence model the company said was trained with limited cybersecurity data so it would be less useful for attacks, CNA reported, citing Reuters1.
The company said it removed training material tied to exploit development, reverse engineering and penetration testing, aiming to keep the model's remaining cyber-related knowledge on the defensive side, according to the same report1.
Tencent tied the choice to concern that capable models could assist cyberattacks, and said it recognized safety risks from advanced cyber and biological capabilities and would take a more cautious approach to training, open-sourcing and release1.
The report said Chinese labs have been tightening similar limits, noting that Moonshot AI last month restricted cyber-offensive features on a newer model1. Independent detail on how thoroughly Hy4 was filtered, and how it performs on defensive versus offensive tests, was not in the wire account1.
