Recent reports claim Chinese researchers with links to the People’s Liberation Army have created a military-focused AI model called ChatBIT.

ChatBIT was created using an early version of Meta 's open-source Llama language model.

The model is reportedly trained on 100,000 military dialogue records, which is comparatively small against the vast datasets used to train state-of-the-art language models in the West .

The emergence of ChatBIT highlights the potential and challenges of open source technology.
