Our competitive advantage is multifold. There's a reason I've chosen to spend all of my career in Canada and, from here, have been able to take on a global leadership role.
First, it stems from the education and research layer that we've built. The knowledge capacity we have in this country is truly exceptional. We created the technology, going back to the work of Dr. Bengio, Dr. Hinton and others here in Canada. We understand that technology. To this day, the three institutes that we have—Mila, Vector and Amii—are some of the largest producers of domestic talent for this technology.
We've been able to build up a substantial infrastructure capability as well, as demonstrated by my co-panellists today, and Cohere has the ability to build large models. It's a skill that requires a combination of research and engineering, and I think that the complexity of training these models is only increasing year over year, so the ability to have all of these capabilities domestically continues to be very important.
In terms of global competitiveness, one thing that is also going to help us is the access to energy, in particular clean energy. I think this is going to be important. We are seeing in many ways that's becoming a bottleneck in many cases. The ability to build more lightweight governance, which actually gives us the clarity we need for how to develop that technology, is going to be important.
I very much look forward to the report coming out on the federal strategy from the government.
