Why does the 🇬🇧 need its own 'frontier AI' model?
For defence, it means greater resilience and stronger data security. That's why we support @CosineAI's work on a complete UK AI stack, built on UK soil. Even if satellite links or undersea cables were cut, sovereign AI would keep the UK operational.

As we reflect on D-Day, we remember the courage shown and all that was given in service of others.
To all who served, and to those who never returned, we offer our respect and gratitude.
Lest we forget.

#OnThisDay in 1936, the Spitfire prototype (K5054) soared for the first time.
Designed by R.J. Mitchell and powered by the @RollsRoyce Merlin engine, its sleek elliptical wings gave it unmatched speed and agility, making it a legend of the Battle of Britain and beyond. Born from Vickers Supermarine, a legacy BAE Systems company, the Spitfire remains a true masterpiece of engineering and determination.
