This week: Britain's £500m sovereign AI fund and its refusal to name a champion; Palantir's Maven becomes a US military program of record; China's state-fused answer to it; Microsoft's $2.5bn Frontier Company embedding engineers inside customers; Fable 5's free window and the meter behind it; Anthropic's models restored on Washington's terms; Scality and OVHcloud's US-free storage stack; and Palantir-Nvidia's air-gapped sovereign AI.

A longer, more personal episode. The week in sovereign tech, plus visitor growth and a LinkedIn ask, the OSINT tool's two hold-ups, the new In My View section, and a question about the petitions. Full pieces and sources at yeandel.co.uk.

This week: the AI off-switch made real, and the admission on the record that a US provider cannot keep European data from Washington; Europe finally spending real money; the fight over what 'sovereign' even means; the procurement rule that moves the money; defence data that is sovereign at home but shared at war; what Ottawa quietly collects; and the suppliers starting to switch sides.

This week: half a million NHS staff handed Microsoft Copilot, and the guidance that says don't; the UK's 1.1 billion pound 'sovereign' AI plan and its Silicon-Valley-run fund; the cloud bill against the defence gap; MPs move to push Palantir out of the NHS; France, Singapore and the EU show what actually acting looks like; and why today's AI prices are a subsidy, not a quote.
