MOTHER CORE
A sovereign British reasoning model — the mind behind MOTHER.
MOTHER CORE is our sovereign large reasoning model (CORE-7B), trained and served entirely on UK infrastructure. It reasons over long context, grounds every answer in your own documents through retrieval, runs multi-step deep research, and calls tools — with governance, audit and refusal built in, not bolted on. CORE is the frozen backbone the rest of the MOTHER family is built on.
Capabilities
Long-context reasoning
Multi-step reasoning over large documents and conversations, with chain-of-thought kept internal and auditable.
Retrieval-grounded (RAG)
Answers are grounded in your own corpora via vector retrieval, with citations back to source — no hallucinated facts.
Deep research
Runs multi-step web + corpus research jobs that fan out, verify, and synthesise a sourced briefing on any topic.
Tool use & agents
Calls tools and orchestrates agent workflows using the Anthropic tool-use schema, with every action logged.
Refusal & governance
Safety and refusal are first-class: policy-gated outputs, human-in-the-loop on sensitive actions, full audit trail.
Sovereign & private
No foreign dependencies, no data egress — runs on UK/EU infrastructure under local law, on-prem or air-gapped.
Architecture
- 1
MotherCoreModel — 6.72B decoder-only
A custom decoder-only architecture: 48 layers, hidden width 3072, grouped-query attention (24/6 heads), SwiGLU MLPs, RoPE (θ=10000) and RMSNorm. 4096-token context, trained at 1536 sequence length in bf16. Tokenizer mother_hf (SentencePiece, vocab 50,258).
- 2
Trained from scratch on owned data
Full fine-tune with answer-only loss over 2,400,092 records across 9 balanced capability groups (A–I) on the NVIDIA GB10 DGX Spark node; cosine-LR warm-restart at 4e-6 (mother_train_v3.py). No third-party distillation — 100%-owned weights, sovereign-guarded checkpoints.
- 3
Measured, not projected
V2 (chunk 0600) scored 51/105 (49%); V3 (chunk 1550) scored 81/105 (77%) on the 105-task agentic benchmark, against a ≥80% gate. v4 is the next ranked run — its numbers are recorded only once measured.
- 4
Retrieval + reuse
Retrieval over Chroma + MongoDB grounds every turn with citations; the frozen CORE backbone is reused as the shared cognitive core across the MOTHER family (EXO, LLM, Code).

What it's for
Sovereign enterprise assistant
A private reasoning assistant grounded in your policies, contracts and knowledge base — with citations and audit.
Deep research desk
Analysts commission multi-step research jobs and receive sourced, verifiable briefings instead of unattributed prose.
Agent orchestration
CORE plans and drives tool-using agents across your stack — Slack, Drive, GitHub, Postgres and more.
Safety & governance
- Human-in-the-loop on any sensitive or outward-facing action.
- Every request and tool call is logged for audit.
- Refusal policy and content governance applied to all outputs.
- No data egress — inference and storage stay on sovereign infrastructure.
Frequently asked
What is MOTHER CORE?
MOTHER CORE is Media Stream AI's sovereign reasoning model — a custom 6.72B decoder-only architecture (48 layers, 3072 hidden, GQA 24/6, SwiGLU/RoPE/RMSNorm) trained from scratch on 2.4M owned records on the GB10 node. It measured 77% (81/105) on its agentic benchmark at V3/chunk-1550, with retrieval-grounded answers, deep research and tool use.
Is MOTHER CORE sovereign?
Yes. CORE runs entirely on UK/EU infrastructure with no foreign technology dependencies and no data egress, available on-prem and air-gapped.
How does CORE avoid hallucination?
CORE grounds answers in your own documents through retrieval-augmented generation and cites the source passages it used, so claims are traceable.
What hardware does CORE run on?
CORE is served on NVIDIA GB10 Blackwell hardware on-node for low-latency sovereign inference.
