Türkiye launches EVREN with 11 open models

Türkiye launched EVREN, a sovereign AI platform with 11 open-weight LLMs and 7,500 active users, while API calls remain free of credit deductions through Nov. 1, 2026, according to the launch report quoting Türkiye’s Presidency of Defense Industries. The official EVREN platform describes a no-cost stack running on 64 NVIDIA H200 GPUs for data labeling, training, and inference. For operators weighing data residency, EVREN is a useful counterpoint to Brazil’s G4 residency distinction: sovereign inference depends on compute and control-plane ownership, not just where a vendor stores prompts.
