Cambridge University spinout launches AI model "competitive" with OpenAI and Anthropic

Tech.eu 1 month ago 6

Flower Labs, a Cambridge University spinout, launched Endeavor 1.0, a frontier-class generalist AI model it says is competitive with OpenAI and Anthropic and can run locally. The startup says Endeavor matches OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Sol and Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5 on some tasks and outperforms Moonshot’s Kimi K3 on some benchmarks. Flower Labs will offer the model to a select set of organisations first, with licensed local deployment and the ability to train on data that stays in the client’s systems rather than moving to a central database.
