AI Sovereignty Council

🏆 32.4% of U.S. Custom AI Shops Are in California, Texas, and Florida — ALEX Intelligence, 2026. This isn’t just a market map—it’s a structural advantage for AI sovereignty. The most advanced home labs and independent teams aren’t in remote locations; they’re embedded in high-density innovation clusters where open-weight models, private RAG, and on-prem inference are becoming the norm. The cloud is not winning—it’s being bypassed by local ecosystems that don’t need permission to innovate.
