Why lineage matters
A model is the sum of what it was built from: a base model, training data, and the outputs of whatever tools helped make it. Each carries licences, origins and risks. A security or procurement review that cannot see them is signing off a black box.
What the record contains
- The base model. What Myles was adapted from, who made it and under what licence. Myles-G, for example, is built on Google's openly licensed Gemma 4 (Apache 2.0).
- The data. Every training source, where it came from and its licence. Our UK public text, legislation, GOV.UK guidance and the parliamentary record, is collected through official channels under the Open Government Licence and the Open Parliament Licence, with a provenance record for every file.
- Who made them. The organisations behind the base model and each dataset.
- How it was measured. The frozen sets, the method and the results, including where the model falls short.
Sovereignty is something you can check, not something you are told.
Our standard
For every new Myles model: no Chinese-origin models or data anywhere in the lineage, and no outputs of hosted models as training data. Models are trained and evaluated in the UK, on UK-owned hardware.
Ask for it
If you are evaluating Myles, ask us for the lineage record of the exact model you are testing, along with our evaluation method and results. Send us your security or supplier questionnaire and we will complete it.
