Localvest salutes our fellow veterans this November 11th. We know firsthand the challenges we face both during and after our service. This Veterans Day, we take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for your unwavering commitment to our nation. Your courage, resilience, and selflessness have not only protected our freedoms but have also inspired countless others. The bonds we've forged through shared experiences are unbreakable, and the skills we've developed are invaluable. This year, let's go beyond just saying "thank you." Here are some meaningful ways to support our veteran community: 1. Buy from veteran-owned businesses 2. Invest in veteran-led startups and projects 3. Reach out to a fellow veteran – a simple call can make a world of difference Remember, our strength lies not just in our past service, but in how we continue to support each other and contribute to our communities.

Imagine if your AI assistant could be tricked into revealing your deepest secrets. It's not just a possibility; it's a reality. PreambleAI figured this out a long time ago and has been working since Day One to ensure large organizations can safely use LLMs on their databases. In a world where AI vulnerabilities can lead to devastating breaches, Preamble AI is at the forefront of safeguarding sensitive data. With the rise of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and GPT-4, the risk of malicious inputs and data leaks has never been more critical. Earlier this month Preamble announced 2 IP licensing deals for their prompt injection mitigation patent for GPT models. The patents are still pending, but companies are aware of the value of the patent in the battle against malicious actors. The deals bring in $100k+ of revenue to continue program development. If you want to know more about prompt injections, IBM did a write up about them and included the work of Preamble AI on this vulnerability attack. https://hubs.li/Q02M89c70
