Cambridge University spinout launches AI model "competitive" with OpenAI and Anthropic

A Cambridge University spinout has today launched a “frontier-class” generalist AI model which it says is competitive with OpenAI and Anthropic's leading models and can be deployed locally. Flower Labs is a London and Hamburg-based startup which lets companies train AI models using data that stays where it is, rather than being transferred to one central database. For example, a hospital could maintain patient data within its systems.
