MatildaAustralia, meet your National LLM
Built from scratch in Australia, by Australians, using sovereign Australian data and infrastructure.
Australia's AI Independence
Why Matilda Matters
Core Intelligence
Australia needs AI built and owned here, designed for our needs and national interests. Without it, our innovation, economy, and decision-making risk being shaped by foreign systems.
Data Sovereignty
We may be starting later than some, but that won't stop us. By building on sovereign data and infrastructure, we keep control of our future and reduce dependence on overseas platforms.
Local Capability
Matilda proves it can be done here, by Australians, for Australians. Our vision is for her to power breakthroughs in science, business, and government, setting the foundation for national AI leadership.
How we made it possible
The National Training Dataset
A curated collection of sovereign Australian data, ensuring Matilda understands our unique culture, context, and voice. Every piece is sourced ethically and legally, creating a dataset that is clean, representative, and truly ours.
The National Training Grid
Our first major investment in Australian-owned GPU infrastructure, giving us the sovereign capability to train world-class models like Matilda quickly and efficiently.
The Sovereign Safe AI Guidelines
Our development protocols, ensuring every step is transparent, governed, and aligned with Australian laws, values, and interests.
Where we are now
We've completed our first end-to-end training run, and Matilda has taken her first steps.
Now we enter Phase Two: helping her grow. In the months ahead, we'll expand the National Training Dataset, scale the National Training Grid, and teach Matilda everything she needs to become the trusted foundation for Australia's AI-powered future.
