Aikido Security Launches Altar-1 Open-Weight Model
According to MarkTechPost, Aikido Security has announced the release of Altar-1, a new open-weight security model designed for developer and enterprise infrastructure. The model has been pruned from GLM-5.3 down to a parameter footprint totaling 328 gigabytes.
Altar-1 targets security use cases within software development lifecycles, offering builders an open-weight alternative for automated vulnerability detection and threat analysis. By optimizing the base architecture down to 328 gigabytes, the development team aims to make large-scale security evaluation more accessible for local deployment and specialized agent workflows. Additional technical documentation regarding evaluation benchmarks and fine-tuning procedures is available via the original release announcement on MarkTechPost.
