Updates on all things Internet Computer #ICP | World Computer network. AI builds there. -

Context is what AI needs to build well.

Caffeine is building an AI world model to let AI query data across canisters, with a data explorer and an object query language.

[Pierre @PierreSamaties]

Just back from Paris 🇫🇷 after two great days with the @UNDP team and the Blockchain Advisory Group.

One perspective I shared: while token ledgers have driven the first wave of blockchain use cases, the real impact of the technology for public good will come from compute.

The combination of sovereign cloud infrastructure and AI is where things become transformative.

AI is becoming both the most powerful builder and the most capable attacker. At the same time, critical digital infrastructure is often dependent on foreign providers, with growing concerns around control, resilience, and data sovereignty.

Cloud Engines address this directly by enabling tamperproof, always-on, sovereign environments where AI can build and operate software. This is already taking shape with forward-looking governments like Pakistan @digitalauthpk and upcoming offering from the @swisssubnet Cloud Engines.

For governments, NGOs, and enterprises, this is not just an upgrade. It is a new foundation to secure an important lifeline of modern economies: compute.

Appreciation to the @UNDP_AltFinLab for convening and driving these important discussions at the intersection of governments, NGOs, and technology companies.

Looking forward to strengthening the collaboration with the UNDP team as well as contributing to the Advisory Group.

Stay tuned!

Never lose access to your identity again.

Internet Identity now has email recovery. Lose every device, and you still get back in with a message from your own inbox. II verifies it is really you.

"Critical."

That's the legal category EU regulators created in November 2025 for AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.

Under DORA - the EU's Digital Operational Resilience Act - the European Banking Authority, ESMA, and EIOPA officially designated all three as Critical third-party providers. Meaning, their failure would constitute systemic risk to the EU financial system.

Banks. Insurers. Investment firms. Payment institutions. Across the EU. Running critical functions on infrastructure regulators now class as a systemic dependency.

So regulators built a new oversight framework. Joint inspection teams. Annual risk analyses. On-site visits.

Not to reduce the dependency. To manage it.

That's not a supervision story. It's an architecture story.

When concentration becomes severe enough that regulators must invent a new legal category to contain the risk - the problem was never regulatory. It was structural.

Caffeine is separating how you build from where you ship.

Build with any AI and toolchain, then host a real, self-owned product on the Internet Computer.

New plans, new ways to build, plus collaboration coming soon.

[DFINITY Foundation @dfinity]

In April we shipped Caffeine v3.

A team of specialist agents that take your prompt, plan the project, and build it in parallel.

Since the release, subscribers are up around 20% month over month.

Looking forward to contributing to the inaugural meeting of the Blockchain Advisory Group convened by @UNDP at Proof of Talk 2026.

Cloud engines run in three steps.

1) Select your nodes
Pick hardware, operators, geography. 4 to 100 nodes per engine, any continent.

2) Fund your engine
Pay in USD. Cycles power everything. No infra overhead.

3) Deploy your apps
Install from App Center or push direct. Connect your AI agent. Zero servers to manage.

One node fails. Apps keep running.

Three things most clouds can't promise:

1) Tamperproof. Runs on a mathematical network, not servers.

2) Always on. No sysadmin team required.

3) Yours. No vendor lock-in, no backdoors.

Cloud Engines deliver all three.

[Pierre @PierreSamaties]

Paris, next week. 🇫🇷

I will share insights on the benefits for enterprises and governments using the sovereign frontier cloud on the Internet Computer, based on real life examples.

Cloud Engines -> Sovereign, tamperproof, always on, frontier cloud for agentic built software ✅️

ICP Skills (for Claude, OpenAI, Curser, Perplexity) and caffeine AI for building any app on this cloud ✅️

Agentic organization -> enable a world view / actionable knowledge graph for your entire organization, when all your apps are built on the Internet Computer with Motoko 💥

The future of nations will not be built on isolated systems, but on sovereign digital infrastructure powered by AI, Blockchain, and trusted interoperability.
@digitalauthpk @DfinityToday

[DFINITY Foundation @dfinity]

Every time AI updates a production app, someone has to clean up after it.

Not on the Internet Computer.

Cloud Engines guarantee: no infrastructure hacks, apps always run, and Motoko catches data loss before it happens. AI can build without a team watching over it.

89%.

That's the increase in attacks by AI-enabled adversaries in 2025, taken from CrowdStrike's 2026 Global Threat Report.

The fastest recorded eCrime breakout time this year: 27 seconds.

What used to take the world's best hackers days now takes an hour. What took an hour now takes minutes.

AI democratized the attack. A criminal gang now operates at the level of a small nation state. Volume. Speed. Autonomy.

The response has been more monitoring. More detection. More patching.

That's not wrong. But it doesn't scale with the threat.

When the attack surface grows 89% in a year, defense needs to be in the architecture - not the maintenance plan.

[DFINITY Foundation @dfinity]

Every app in this demo was built without a single line of human code.

AI is already building production-grade SaaS on the Internet Computer. Tamperproof. Unstoppable. Sovereign.

When blockchain reaches internet scale, it stops competing with crypto, and starts competing with global infrastructure.

The only sovereign cloud privacy technology that can defeat the universal "computer embedded within the motherboard" backdoors is ICP vetKeys

A cloud engine is a sovereign frontier cloud.

Tamperproof. Fault-tolerant. Yours.

→ No vulnerable OS
→ No firewall to maintain
→ No sysadmin required

Protocol math keeps your app running even when nodes fail.

$23.1 billion.

That's what Europe will spend on sovereign cloud infrastructure by 2027.

Tripling in two years. Gartner's forecast. A trend already in motion.

The market has read the room.

But most of that spend goes to the same three companies.

AWS. Azure. Google.

Same infrastructure. Same jurisdiction. Same CLOUD Act exposure.

Different contract.

You can spend $23 billion on sovereignty and still have none.

The distinction isn't the budget. It's the architecture.

Who chooses the nodes? Who sets the governance? Whose law applies when the request comes in?

Sovereignty isn't a feature you can licence from the same architecture you're trying to move beyond.

[DFINITY Foundation @dfinity]

Start with 4 nodes.
Scale to 100.
Split your engine in two to double throughput.

Cloud Engines will give users a new scaling model. Add nodes for security and query capacity. Upgrade node class for update workload. No rewrites. No migrations.
