The strongest closed-source models are controlled by US companies, leaving every other allied nation dependent on access that can be restricted or withdrawn. Tertium AI is the response: an independent non-profit to build frontier-class open-weight AI in partnership with the middle powers.AI Unverifiable source (2026)

AI Unverifiable
The quote is real and appears verbatim on tertiumai.org in the “A Third Path” section: “The strongest closed-source models are controlled by US companies … Tertium AI is the response …” ([tertiumai.org](https://tertiumai.org/)) But I could not verify the attribution to Lindley Lentati: the page contains no byline or mention of his name, and site-text searches for “Lindley”/“author” return no match. ([tertiumai.org](https://tertiumai.org/)) Lentati does publicly discuss Tertium as a non-profit he founded and advances very similar ideas on LinkedIn, but not this exact wording.

Year 2026 (current/relevant). Vote alignment is correct: the quote advocates building open-weight frontier AI "in partnership with the middle powers", which aligns with a "for" vote on the statement "Democratic middle powers should jointly develop frontier AI and share its benefits globally". Author attribution is plausible and corroborated: Lindley Lentati is the founder of Tertium AI, an independent non-profit building frontier-class open-weight AI for allied/middle powers. SOURCE: The source_url https://tertiumai.org/ returned HTTP 403 Forbidden to direct fetch, so I could not directly confirm the quote text on the page. A web search strongly corroborates the content nearly verbatim (Tertium AI described as "independent non-profit" building "frontier-class open-weight AI in partnership with the middle powers", founded by Lindley Lentati). Marking ai_unverifiable solely because the source page blocks automated fetching, not due to any accuracy concern.
