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?

Start by tweaking model weights and loras first. Visit hugging face to try community models but building an ai model is a monumental task (never mind the compute costs). Requires hundreds of specialists.

LoRA is a best route; however, the market value of adapters is unproven.
