Discover the new Cosine and Shift partnership bringing sovereign AI to regulated sectors to power real-time, data-driven operational resilience.
Today, we are pleased to announce our partnership with Shift to bring sovereign, reasoning-capable AI to operational resilience, with a primary focus on the financial sector.
As part of this partnership, Shift is building with and integrating Lumen Outpost into its operations and will be a key collaborator in testing and shaping our upcoming Lumen Sovereign model.
Proving operational resilience
Our initial joint focus is to give financial institutions unprecedented visibility into their resilience capabilities. Today, organisations hold vast amounts of resilience data, yet often struggle to confidently answer whether critical business services would withstand a severe disruption. Together, Cosine and Shift are closing this gap, delivering a comprehensive workflow that reduces recovery times and proves resilience across technology, people, and processes.
Here is how the solution works in practice:
- Live visibility: Shift’s ProveOps platform connects disparate resilience data, giving leaders a live, queryable view of where every important business service stands across all five pillars – technology, people, facilities, cyber, and third parties.
- Advanced scenario-testing: Powered by Cosine’s reasoning edge, Shift’s Scenario Lab can run sophisticated, severe-but-plausible scenario events against tolerance levels, identifying single points of failure before a live disruption occurs.
- Regulatory confidence: By combining ProveOps’ continuous insights with Cosine’s advanced reasoning, organisations gain the regulatory capabilities needed to prove accountability and minimise customer harm when it matters most.
Grounded in UK data
Crucially, this capability is designed for sectors where data provenance and governance are non-negotiable. As we prepare to launch Lumen Sovereign, Shift is working closely with us to bring a deep resilience lens to how we build and govern the model. This ensures the model is resilient by design, trained on UK data, and able to operate safely in highly regulated financial environments.
Alistair Pullen, CEO & Co-Founder, Cosine
“In the financial sector, operational resilience requires dynamic, intelligent insights that hold up under strict regulatory scrutiny. By combining Shift’s ProveOps platform with Cosine’s Lumen models, we are giving organisations the ability to autonomously simulate sophisticated scenarios and measure their true recovery capabilities. We’re thrilled to partner with Shift to ensure that the AI driving these critical decisions is as resilient and governed as the infrastructure it protects.”
Shane Finch, CTO, Shift
“Sovereign AI isn’t just about who owns the model, it’s whether it was actually trained on UK data, not just prompted to sound like it. That’s what Cosine are building, and why we’re genuinely excited to be partnered with them. Shift brings deep experience in resilience, and it’s central to the products we’re building. Understanding how organisations hold up under pressure across technology, people, and process is only trustworthy if the AI behind it is built the same way, resilient by design, not resilient by accident. That’s what this partnership means to us, bringing that resilience lens to how Lumen Sovereign is built and governed, so it holds up in the environments where it matters most.”
As we move forward with this partnership, we look forward to Shift testing and shaping Lumen Sovereign to equip regulated sectors with the autonomous, sovereign capabilities needed to stay resilient against modern disruptions.
