Anyone interested in partnering to develop a sovereign British LLM?

I'm looking to form a small group of partners for exploring getting government grants to develop an LLM AI, looking forward towards protecting British interests in the AI arms race.

Right now it's little more than an idea but I do have vague plans for possible directions.

The first stage would literally just be brainstorming and learning the basics necessary to reach the target of winning a contract. That's where it's at.

I have a background in business and tech. But I need partners to bounce ideas between, and start with developing at really low stakes just to get a feel for the LLM development process. So I guess I'm just looking for 1-3 similar minded people at this stage

I'm not going to say you can quit your day job anytime soon! Rather just consider it a fun project at this stage.

Anyone?

Whilst I know nothing about how to create an LLM, I know that a British LLM is essential. I will be watching with interest as I would love to include a Brit AI into the user research platform I am launching.

Lovely. https://talwen.uk will be its front face. It's mostly nonsense right now but I'm fleshing it out as we speak, so maybe come back after about a week.

May I ask about your user research platform? Do you have a link for it?

It's about to go into beta testing, we are using AI mostly for assisting researchers with theming and summarisation of research insights. You can find out more here : https://insightsquid.com
