EdgeRunner AI trains models on military doctrine to create specialized AI for warfighters, addressing security concerns with mainstream chatbots requiring internet connectivity.

Last month, the announcement that four artificial intelligence companies, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and xAI, had secured a government contract with the Pentagon drew the attention of one CEO who expressed skepticism about the proprietary models developed by these tech giants. The companies, known for their chatbot services powered by large language models such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Elon Musk's Grok respectively, each received $200 million in government contracts.

What we've done at EdgeRunner is we've taken these models, these LLMs, we've compressed them, and we fine-tune them on military data," Saltsman said. "So now, they're so small that they can live on a chip, and they don't require big data center servers to host them.

If you were to prompt ChatGPT with the same prompts you use with us, ChatGPT would say ‘You're breaking the terms of service, or we're sorry, we cannot support that kind of request’, and so, it's unusable for the military, which is what we're solving for," Saltsman said. He added that when certain chatbots are prompted, they process and transmit answers over the internet, heightening the risk of interception.
