I wonder if they have?

My current intuition is that the US military / NSA etc have been just as suprised the explosion in capabilities of LLMs/transformers as everyone else.

(I'm using "intuition" here as a fancy word for "dumb-ass guess".)

I'd be interested to know if the NSA were running their own GPT-style models years before OpenAI started publishing their results.




You don't need a LLM to do this. A dedicated image->coords model would likely perform much better, and that's old school ML at this point.


Have you seen a description of one of those? I didn't know that those existed.


It would obviously be classified CIA/NSA technology.
