Development of SecLM for Security Tasks

SecLM was developed to address limitations of general purpose models in handling security tasks. General purpose models often struggle with sensitive or risky security questions involving topics like bad code, pushing users to consult professionals. Additionally, the dynamic nature of security requires a system like SecLM to integrate timely updates and address zero-day vulnerabilities effectively. By combining different language models, reasoning on tasks, and leveraging specialized adapters, SecLM offers a comprehensive solution for security-related queries and tasks.
