Sovereign AI for enterprises. Build AI you own on infrastructure you control. Private, specialized models that run where your data lives.

A New Model for Intelligence.

The next era of AI won't come from a single system in the cloud, but from a civilization of models owned by the people closest to the problem.

"Any time you centralize power, data, and now artificial intelligence, you create an acute threat for our adversaries."

Our President of Public Sector Jason Rathje was on @CNN This Morning talking about AI data centers, the strain they're putting on communities, and what a real alternative looks like.

[CNN This Morning with Audie Cornish @CNNThisMorning]

AI data centers bring environmental & security concerns.
Jason Rathje, president of public sector, @thewebAI and former director, DoD Office of Strategic Capital: Anytime you centralize power, data, and now artificial intelligence, you create an acute threat for our adversaries."

Intelligence is getting smaller.

Our CEO @Davidstout was featured in @theinformation on why the data center boom is a mistake and where AI is actually headed.

"Data centers won't disappear, but the majority of work will happen at the edge. Apple made the bet correctly there."

Our President of Public Sector, Jason Rathje, was on CNBC's Morning Call this morning talking about the US/China AI arms race and what it's going to take for America to stay ahead.

He made the point that distributed AI and reducing dependence on centralized cloud infrastructure is not just a technical decision. It is a national security one.

Jason Rathje, President of Public Sector at @thewebAI, says the U.S. must develop distributed AI systems and reduce reliance on centralized cloud infrastructure as competition with China intensifies.

9/ That approach earned two of the top three spots on ViDoRe V3: heterogeneous data, targeted rebalancing, efficient adaptation, and an objective built for ranking quality.

We're open sourcing both models so anyone can build with them.

8/ The loss function is proprietary.

But the principle: force the model to create cleaner separation between the correct page and every competing page in the batch. Better embedding geometry. Cleaner ranking.

Especially important when pages look semantically similar.
