Own Your Intelligence: Building Sovereign AI on Infrastructure You Control

Speakers: Josh Mesout

AI has moved past wild experimentation. Agents are heading into production, solving real problems for real customers. The bottleneck is no longer how fast you can build. It's whether you can prove where your data went, who processed it, and under whose rules.

In this Civo Navigate London 2026 session, Josh Mesout from relaxAI shows how to own your intelligence end to end: the models, the tokens, the agents, and the sandboxes they run in, all processed in the UK.

Open source models now sit a hair's breadth behind the frontier, and they give you three things closed models can't: control, continuity and cost advantage. Access can change overnight when someone else owns the model. The economics shift when someone else sets the price. The only way to stop being surprised is to bring it under your own ownership.
