Sovereign AI: what it means and which open models exist

Sovereignty in artificial intelligence does not mean building everything at home: it means being able to decide. Open-weight models already solve the model layer. The missing layer is electrical, and that layer is decided substation by substation.

Spanish-language models and the case of Mexico: ALIA, Latam-GPT and Coatlicue

Spain has already published a public Spanish-language model under an open licence. Latin America has its own, built on a Meta model. Mexico has a plan, a supercomputer on the way and one published model, fine-tuned on a French one. The constraint that decides everything is a different one: megawatts.

China: 41% of downloads and a question of trust

The world's top-rated open models are Chinese, and their licences carry more conditions with each release. They run without sending data to anyone. The question for a Bajío exporter is not technical: it is what the customer will say.

United States: open weights, closed flagships

Google, OpenAI and IBM publish mid-sized models under the Apache 2.0 licence, at a size that fits on one server. The frontier model stays closed. For an industrial plant, that mid-sized range is exactly the one that is useful.

Mistral: Europe's champion and the fine print in its licences

Mistral did what Aleph Alpha stopped doing: it kept training models and built its own compute. EUR 3 billion in September, a 1.4 GW campus on the way and three types of licence that are worth telling apart.

Aleph Alpha: Germany's sovereign AI lesson

Seven years, a round announced as more than USD 500 million, a change of strategy and a merger with Canada's Cohere. On 3 October it released Kolibri-1, its first open-weight language model under Apache 2.0.

Industry 5.0: the 400 Gbps network, AI and the person at the centre

The coming factory moves more data in one shift than a factory of ten years ago moved in a month. That pushes the plant backbone from 10 to 100 and 400 Gbps, puts artificial intelligence on the floor, and forces work to be redesigned around the operator, not the other way round.
