Trend Micro Makes Its AI Model Trend Cybertron Freely Available as Open Source
Trend Micro’s Trend Cybertron is a large language model specifically tailored for cybersecurity. The model was developed based on Llama 3.1 and runs on infrastructure powered by Nvidia. Organizations and researchers can deploy the open-source model for free, although there may be costs associated with using the underlying infrastructure. With the help of AI agents, organizations can assess risks, prioritize, and automatically respond to threats.
Autonomous AI Agents
Trend Cybertron utilizes data from a global network of more than 250 million sensors. This allows the system to assess security risks and respond to them via AI agents. These agents interpret user queries, develop action plans, and provide recommendations based on real-time data from Trend Micro’s cloud.

The collaboration with Nvidia plays an important role in the project. Trend Micro uses Nvidia’s NIM microservices and DGX supercomputers to train and rapidly deploy the model. Within the Nvidia ecosystem, companies can integrate the AI agents to automate security tasks such as scans and risk assessments.
The current model contains 8 billion parameters. Meanwhile, Trend Micro is working on a more powerful model with 70 billion parameters to further expand its capabilities. The open-source version of Trend Cybertron falls under a specific community license. This allows for use in combination with other applications but restricts use with competing services.
