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
Does NOT publish its own foundation models. Sherpa.ai sells a 'Blind Federated Learning' platform plus homomorphic encryption, secure multiparty computation and differential privacy, so organisations can collaboratively train and operate LLMs without pooling sensitive data. Sectors: healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, cybersecurity, aerospace/defence. Founded by Xabier Uribe-Etxebarria; originally a consumer predictive assistant (Porsche was an early API customer, 2018) before pivoting to B2B privacy infrastructure in 2021.
