Mozilla announced its first-ever partnership with a major AI research lab — Mila (Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute, founded by Yoshua Bengio, 1,500+ members). The inaugural project focuses on private memory architectures for AI agents, with Mozilla investing $1M CAD and providing engineering collaboration. The broader vision is building a Canadian-made open-source stack across compute, models, and data for sovereign, privacy-focused AI not controlled by big tech.
