In short
Government agencies deploy sovereign AI by keeping control of four things: where the data and models run, which models they use, what every agent is allowed to do, and the ability to change suppliers without losing what they built. In practice that means deployment in the agency's own environment, a choice of models, approvals and audit records on every action, and contract terms that keep the service replaceable.
| Requirement | What it means in practice |
|---|---|
| Residency | Data, models and logs stay in the agency's chosen environment and jurisdiction. |
| Model choice | More than one model family, including open-weight models the agency can run itself. |
| Control of actions | Agents act only within approved permissions, with a person approving consequential steps. |
| Audit | Every action recorded and exportable for oversight and records requests. |
| Replaceability | Instructions, evaluations and trained models stay with the agency if a supplier changes. |
Citizen-facing service is the most visible start: answering questions, guiding applications and routing cases, in plain language and in the languages residents speak. Internal casework, permitting, procurement and records requests follow, each measured against current processing times.
Model suppliers change terms, retire models and change availability. Agencies that write portability, export and model choice into the contract keep their service running when that happens. Fig runs CosmOS inside the agency's own environment or Fig's, with open-weight and frontier models, approvals on consequential actions and an exportable audit trail.
Sovereign AI: the operating playbook →Security & governance →
AI an agency controls: where it runs, which models it uses, what it may do and the ability to change suppliers without losing its work.
Yes. Open-weight models can run inside the agency's own environment, alongside frontier models where policy allows.
Record every agent action with its inputs, outputs and approvals, and keep those records exportable for oversight and records requests.
