Our Mission
AI should reflect who we are
Canada is a bilingual, multicultural nation with a distinct identity. The AI we rely on should understand that identity -- not approximate it from Silicon Valley datasets. CanLM exists to build the models that get Canada right.
Sovereignty First
We believe Canadians deserve AI built by Canadians, for Canadians. Models trained on our knowledge, hosted on our soil, governed by our laws.
Bilingual by Design
Not translated -- native. Our models understand Quebec French the way Quebecers speak it, and Canadian English in all its regional nuance.
Open & Accountable
Open-weight models that can be inspected, audited, and improved. We believe transparency is a prerequisite for trust in AI systems.

Canadian Sovereignty
All data processing and model hosting happens on Canadian soil through Micrologic cloud infrastructure. Your data stays in Canada, governed by Canadian law.
Open Weights
Our models are open-weight and auditable. No black boxes. We believe the AI systems that shape society should be transparent and accountable.
Bilingual by Design
Quebec French is not an afterthought -- it is a first-class language in our models. Trained on authentic Canadian French, not translations from English.
