Bielik.AI and Beyond.pl: an initiative for sovereign and resilient AI

Beyond.pl, the first data center operator in Central and Eastern Europe with an operational AI Factory, has announced a joint initiative with Bielik.AI and foundation SpeakLeash under the name “The Nest”. Its goal is to accelerate the development of a Polish language model and to speed up the implementation of sovereign AI projects in the CEE region through the use of Bielik.

The initiative focuses on building a resilient AI environment for the Bielik language model, designed to provide Polish enterprises with a ready-to-use platform for implementing artificial intelligence projects in an enterprise model.

This approach enables the deployment of AI solutions without the need to invest in proprietary computing infrastructure, while ensuring the sovereignty of developed solutions – meaning full control over data and compliance with European and Polish regulations. In parallel clients can reduce the time required to launch AI solutions, lower investment and operational costs, and accelerate their go-to-market strategy, all while strengthening their technical resilience and competitive advantage.

– The Nest project marks the next stage in the development of Bielik. Thanks to this initiative, Polish companies will gain access to a Polish enterprise-grade AI platform that combines high quality, sovereignty, and powerful computing capabilities. We are delivering an alternative to global models, ensuring complete technological independence. This will significantly accelerate the AI adoption among Polish organizations and enable clients to build multi-agent solutions that support AI implementation processes, – says Sebastian Kondracki, Bielik.AI and SpeakLeash Foundation President.

The technological foundation of the Nest initiative is the fully sovereign AI Factory launched in September this year on Beyond.pl’s Data Center Campus in Poznan. In its enterprise model, Bielik will leverage the computing power of the F.I.N. supercomputer, built using NVIDIA’s DGX SuperPOD architecture and equipped with NVIDIA B200 GPUs dedicated to AI workloads, including language models.

– Bielik is a testament to the strength of Polish technological thought and our ability to create highly competitive solutions on a global scale. We want companies operating in our region to leverage the Polish LLM to build competitive advantages, catch up with, and even surpass global competitors. To make this possible, a stable and scalable infrastructure backbone is essential, comments Wojciech Stramski, Beyond.pl CEO. Building a sovereign hub for AI projects based on Bielik at our campus represents a real opportunity for enterprises and public institutions to unlock the benefits of AI’s potential within a private model – meaning that data is stored and processed within the country, under the legal jurisdiction of Poland and the EU. The Beyond.pl AI Factory with access to the power of the most advanced NVIDIA AI infrastructure is a place where the potential of Bielik can be scaled to its fullest.

Bielik will also continue its infrastructure collaboration with Academic Computer Centre Cyfronet AGH, which has supported the community working on the launch and development of the Polish model from the very beginning.
