Built from scratch. Zero foreign model weights. Every parameter trained on Canadian hardware, under Canadian oversight, answerable to Canadian law.
Every major AI-capable nation has a model it calls its own. The United States has GPT and Claude. France has Mistral. China has Qwen and DeepSeek. Canada — home of neural networks, the Vector Institute, and some of the world's most cited AI researchers — has had nothing it can point to and call its own foundation. Until now.
Edge is a model family, not a one-off experiment. Each generation improves on the last — more data, better architecture, greater capability. All trained from scratch. All Canadian.
Every architectural decision, every hyperparameter, every training step is documented and auditable. This is not a black box. It is the opposite of a black box.
Edge doesn't stand alone. It is the model layer of a complete Canadian AI stack — from the weights to the API to the consumer product to the defence capability.
EDGE POWERS ALL OF THEM • ZERO EXTERNAL DEPENDENCIES
For researchers and developers. The weights, architecture, training code, and full methodology are public. Inspect every parameter, every training decision, every checkpoint.
Open on HuggingFace ↗For organizations requiring sovereign deployment. Edge runs inside CASTLE — OpenAI-compatible API, your hardware, your data, your rules. Zero external dependencies.
