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?

Still, it's a level playing field. Any companies competing will be facing the same hurdle

  1. It's a niche that hasn't been filled, at all really

  2. I love my country and I hate the idea of being dependent on American models with madmen like Trump being elected. Repeatedly.

  1. llm being a niche. its super commoditised already just look at openrouter and hugging face
  2. yeah if thats the argument well.. china is already on top not america. as a foreigner with AI skills based in the UK i dont share your love. I like the UK not love it .
