We're building sovereign AI

Blaiz was born from a conviction: European companies deserve AI they control, without compromising on power or security.

The Blaiz Team

Building the future of enterprise AI: powerful, sovereign, and sustainable.

Timothé FRANCK

Timothé FRANCK

Founder & CEO

AI researcher and engineer specializing in efficient language models. He earned an MSc in Artificial Intelligence from Heriot-Watt University (2025), where his work focused on how small models can tackle tasks usually reserved for much larger systems. Before launching Blaiz, he led the technical development of the academic project Cosmic, a collaboration between Heriot-Watt, the University of Kent, and the Polish Space Agency to design an AI assistant for long-duration space missions. He also took part in the BabyLM Challenge 2025, exploring how to train capable models on consumer hardware, driven by the belief that AI should remain accessible. Now completing his studies at Epitech, he has been working on Blaiz for over eight months with one goal: enabling companies to use powerful AI agents while preserving data sovereignty and reducing energy consumption.
