Headquarters evidence

Aveni has also moved into its new headquarters at the Edinburgh Futures Institute , a state-of-the-art facility designed to foster collaboration and innovation in the heart of the city.

Aveni's own site states it moved into 'its new headquarters at the Edinburgh Futures Institute', which is an Edinburgh, United Kingdom location; the wording 'headquarters' is explicitly bound to Aveni and the named building.

Evidence boundaries

Organisation listings identify a reviewed canonical record. Headquarters is independent of incorporation, registered offices, ownership, hosting and runtime. Model listings show an association in the source register; they do not by themselves establish model creation, current API availability, hosting location or infrastructure ownership.

Profile note

The UK's first domain-specific LLM for financial services, co-created with Lloyds Banking Group and Nationwide (both also investors) over six months in Aveni Labs, released 19 May 2025. Notable for the directory because it is a rare European vertical foundation model built with, and governed for, a regulated sector — designed against FCA guidance and the EU AI Act simultaneously. Raised a further £12M in June 2026 to extend into consumer agentic AI. Parameter count, base model and context window are all unpublished. No public pricing.
