Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming the landscape of national security. From real-time decision-making in conflict zones to edge deployment in autonomous systems, the defence sector increasingly relies on powerful yet efficient AI models. At Multiverse Computing, we are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible at the intersection of AI and security with CompactifAI—our cutting-edge framework for AI model compression tailored to defence applications.
Bringing Together Leaders in AI and Defence
Last week, Multiverse Computing hosted a thought-provoking roundtable led by Iraia Ibarzabal and Alberto Reguera, focused on the evolving role of AI in defence. The session brought together distinguished voices from government agencies, defence contractors, and AI research communities to explore the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in securing modern societies.
The discussions spanned a wide range of topics, from real-time threat detection to autonomous decision support systems—highlighting both the promise and the complexity of AI integration in defence operations.
Spotlight on CompactifAI
Among the key innovations discussed was CompactifAI, Multiverse Computing’s proprietary framework for AI model compression. In high-stakes environments like the battlefield, computational resources are often scarce, and latency can be a matter of life or death. CompactifAI addresses this challenge head-on by enabling lightweight, high-performance AI models that retain the accuracy of their large-scale counterparts.
This innovation opens the door to deploying sophisticated language and vision models directly onto edge devices—such as drones, surveillance systems, and autonomous vehicles—without sacrificing precision or speed.
Why CompactifAI Matters in Defence:
- Low-latency performance: Enables rapid decision-making in real time.
- Edge compatibility: Ideal for deployment in low-power, remote environments.
- Secure and resilient: Compact models are easier to audit, monitor, and secure.
From Theory to Tactical Edge
Whether it’s for autonomous reconnaissance, real-time battlefield analytics, or smart logistics, CompactifAI is designed to be mission-ready. Applications discussed at the roundtable included:
- Threat detection from live video feeds
- Secure communications using NLP-based cryptographic protocols
- Predictive maintenance for vehicles and equipment
- Dynamic logistics optimization under constrained resources
This is just the beginning. As the defence landscape becomes increasingly reliant on rapid, AI-driven insights, the need for models that are both powerful and deployable becomes more urgent—and CompactifAI is here to meet that need.
