you could paint marker “not a gun” on the side of a gun and guess what would happen. It would flag it as a gun. How do I know? I worked on and developed a similar system at one point. It worked extremely well. We weren’t an American company and ultimately covid killed us (it was US American orgs that were the most interested in our stuff). It has some uses, but 95% of what is being used for and 100% of the data centers aren’t it. Do you think LLMs are being used for this sort of thing? Putting aside the sheer technical mountain of a hurdle that slapping an LLM vision model on top of dozens and dozens of real-time camera streams, the hardware requirements would put the company out of business before they made their first sale. Computer vision models, which are NOT LLMs, have been around for quite a while now and are very good at doing one thing and one thing only. And they’ll do it well for a miniscule fraction of what it takes to run an LLM. No, datacentres are not being used for real-time gun detection. The company might have other kinds of infrastructure located in a DC, but not the main video processing hardware.
