AI Sovereignty Council
2026-09-13
🏆 Ranked #1 in U.S. for AI Growth — 254.2% Increase in Custom Programming Shops Since 2019 — ALEX Intelligence, 2026.
This isn’t about Silicon Valley. It’s about Sheridan, WY — a small Wyoming city leading the charge in sovereign AI. With open-source models like Open Claude and free access via OpenRouter, builders in remote areas are now launching full-stack AI systems without cloud dependency. This is the real shift: sovereignty isn’t centralized. It’s local, auditable, and growing fastest where the world least expects it.
