Today I'm proud to share something we've been building toward, alongside a partner we're proud to build with:Wand AI
Wand AI just announced that vlno ai is now the model robustness layer in their Sovereign AI stack, so governments and regulated enterprises can run open-weight models on their own infrastructure with robustness they can actually measure, not just assume.
Here's the problem we exist to solve. Every organization wants the control and economics of open models. But an agent built on a model can be manipulated by the content it reads into misusing the access it was given, and that risk is what stops these deployments in security review. Runtime filters and red-team reports can find the weakness. Neither changes what the model does next.
That's our whole reason for being. VLNO tests a model against adversarial adaptive attacks and produces the training data that hardens the model itself, so the robustness lives in the weights and travels with the model wherever it runs. Your existing controls stay in place on top. As the model changes, we re-test and re-harden, so the protection stays current.
In practice, a ministry or a bank can put an open model into production on a measured attack success rate, not a vendor's promise. Robustness becomes something a model has to earn before it reaches production, and keeps earning over time.
To my co-founder @IsmailOfVlno and our team: you turned a hard idea into something real. Big thanks to the Wand AI team for starting this with us. We're just getting started.
And to the enterprises and teams putting agents into production: we'd love to show you what measured robustness looks like for your models.

We train the threat out.
@DeanMeyerrr Great read, AI security needs to evolve from static audits to continuous behavioral verification.
I think supply-chain trust won’t come from open weights alone, it’ll come from continuously proving that a model still satisfies its expected security and safety properties after PT
