Australian company Trellis Data has introduced Agentaus 1 for businesses and government agencies handling sensitive documents. The service can prepare summaries with links back to original material. Trellis says customer documents and processing stay in Australia and are excluded from model training. The model follows the commercial Agentaus service launched in May.
Trellis Data, an artificial intelligence company based in Canberra, Australia, has launched Agentaus 1 for businesses and government agencies using sensitive documents.[1], [2]
This is a new model in the Agentaus service, whose commercial launch took place in May. The model has 220 billion parameters, the internal values adjusted during training, about 50 per cent more than its predecessor.[1]
A government use described for the service is preparing a ministerial brief from policy submissions, retaining references to the original documents. Trellis says customer material is excluded from model training, while both documents and processing remain in Australian data centres. The company describes support for multi-step problems and longer responses. Access includes enterprise services and an application programming interface for developers.[1]
Michael and Rachel Gately founded Trellis Data in 2016. The company later received backing from Main Sequence, the investment firm established by Australia’s national science agency. Earlier Trellis products included speech recognition and translation software for networks disconnected from the internet. The launch comes as Australia prepares mandatory standards for frontier AI companies, including independent model assessments and incident reporting. Chief executive Michael Gately says Trellis products meet the outlined standards.[1]
