For government and enterprise AI leads: building AI in Australia has meant sending both the money and the data to overseas providers.
Money and data, both going offshore.
A closed-door discussion for government and enterprise AI leaders on onshore inference capacity, data residency, and models that understand local context.
Companies building AI in Australia have historically had to send their money and their data to overseas cloud providers. SCX frames 2026 as the turning point where the country needs some skin in the game.
The SCX ASIC-based platform targets up to ten times greater energy efficiency and roughly three times higher inference throughput than leading GPU clouds. Project MAGPiE is Australia first fine-tuned large language model, engineered for Australian context, terminology and cultural nuance.
What we'll be exploring.
Talking points on the table include, but are not limited to:
What data residency has cost
The money that leaves with the workload, and what onshore capacity changes.
The efficiency case
Ten times energy efficiency and three times inference throughput against GPU cloud incumbents.
Project MAGPiE
What a model fine-tuned for Australian context actually handles differently.
Building on local capacity
Running your own AI platform rather than renting someone else priorities.
APAC Series. Five cities.
New companies can use our capacity to build their own AI platforms, without giving their money to an overseas provider.
