The UK is getting its own Sovereign Frontier AI Model!
It is being trained on Isambard-AI and will run with no dependence on foreign infrastructure.
The model, Lumen Sovereign, is being built by @CosineAI, one of the companies selected by the UK Government for its £500m Sovereign AI programme.
The startup is working with leading big companies (such as Babcock, BT, Lloyds LSEG, NatWest Group, PwC) to help design it.
Cosine was founded by @AlistairPullen and @yangli_ and its models have outperformed OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, and DeepSeek on independent coding benchmarks for two consecutive years.
The model will be trained using compute provided by @UKSovereignAI!
Amazing stuff @Jameswise, @SuzanneAshman, @KanishkaNarayan.

You know when you’re dealing with a serious partner when they have a meeting room decorated like @ManUtd #oldtrafford. Thanks @softcat for your time today.

I have a confession !
Last season @Heineken asked me and @jillscottjs8 to swap Twitter accounts as part of a social experiment to see if men and women are treated differently online . What happened was unfortunately predictable ! An important reminder that gender bias should have no place in our game . #fresherfootball #Ad

Forget the PM press conference or mini budget U-Turn, what about the fact that @KwasiKwarteng flight landed at 10.54 and he was through security @HeathrowAirport and in his car by 11.34. Now that’s impressive.

Also, @lamw has made a handy navigator - bit.ly/3AFrHWg
From on prem vSphere, to navigating cloud chaos, to improving developer experience and how organisations deliver stellar digital workspaces, I’ve seen it all at VMware Explore online and on twitter. I’m biased, great job by all involved! Exciting times @vmware #VMwareExplore
