Sovereign European AI

A sovereign intelligence,
built for Europe.

Eugeny is a sovereign European AI, built and served under European jurisdiction by Fornace and aligned to the constitutional values of the European Union. Thirteen cognitive instincts are trained into the weights rather than bolted on by prompts. It is built to compete with the frontier.

A sovereign alternative, built to compete.

Eugeny is a dense policy of roughly nine billion parameters, built and served under European jurisdiction by Fornace to compete on agentic and coding work while remaining open-weight. Sovereignty is operational here. Where the model is served, what data enters the weights, and what it is allowed to claim are enforced rules. No private personal data is baked into the weights, and the alignment frame is the constitutional values of the European Union. Lawful political discourse and institutional criticism get direct answers, while exploitation, dehumanization, targeted abuse, minors, privacy invasion, and violence are refused strictly.

The goal is a sovereign European alternative to the US frontier labs: open-weight, values-aligned, and built in Europe. The v6 target is explicit: beat Sonnet 5 on PACE and the open-weight comparators on every comparable family.

The reflexes that govern how it works are trained into the weights. An ETH Zurich 2026 study put the cost of prompt scaffolding at roughly twenty percent more tokens and three extra steps per task. Eugeny's answer bakes thirteen cognitive instincts into the weights as trainable reflexes, so correct behaviour is the default.

The coding score is high; the multimodal score is low. Both stand on the evidence page, and the flagged risk in the PACE predictor is named there first.

Where it stands today.

Today

The live model is Eugeny 5.1 Vision. It accepts at most one image per prompt, and a single video sampled to two endpoint frames. The serving limit holds at one image: a twelve-image request transported, but its semantic gate scored nine of twelve, so the limit stays at one. Image generation belongs to a separate project.

Dense 256K context is proven and served today. Long context toward millions of tokens, and the process-awareness and mechanism-discovery instinct tracks, are in development under the v6 program.
