AnswersSovereign AI

What is sovereign AI for an enterprise?

In short

An enterprise is sovereign over its AI when it can keep it useful, governable and replaceable as conditions change. That means the company keeps control of five things: its data, its knowledge, the context its agents work from, its choice of model, and oversight of what the AI does. In practice it runs in the company's own cloud, works with more than one model family, and can move without losing what it built.

The five things a sovereign enterprise controls

What it controlsWhat that means in practice
DataData stays in the company's environment, and contracts keep it out of suppliers' training.
KnowledgeInstructions, evaluations and trained models belong to the company and move with it.
ContextThe live model of how the business runs is the company's asset, not a supplier's.
Model choiceEvery frontier lab and open-weight models, routed per task, with no single-lab dependency.
OversightApprovals, the audit trail and the off switch sit with the company.

Why it moved up the agenda in 2026

In 2026, companies watched a frontier model become unavailable, retention terms change with a model release, and a lab give a major customer notice that it would stop supplying it. Each event hit companies whose AI depended on one supplier's terms. The ones that could route to another model and keep their instructions, evaluations and records carried on.

Can enterprise AI run in our own cloud?

Yes. Running inside the company's own cloud account keeps data, logs and trained models in its environment, with connectors that inherit each source system's permissions. Open-weight models can run there too, and frontier models are called under contracts that keep company data out of training.

How Fig keeps the five with the company

CosmOS runs in the company's own cloud or Fig's, routes every task across every frontier lab and the best open-weight models, keeps the digital twin, instructions and evaluations as the company's assets, trains models whose weights the company keeps, and records every action in an exportable audit trail.

Frequently asked questions

Is sovereign AI only for governments?

No. Any company that depends on AI for important work needs to keep it running, governed and replaceable when a supplier changes terms.

Does sovereign AI mean open-source models only?

No. It means choice: frontier models where they are best, open-weight models where they fit, and the ability to switch.

Can CosmOS run on our own infrastructure?

CosmOS runs inside the company's own cloud account or Fig's managed cloud.
