What comes next in Pakistan builds on what is already running. The cloud engine in the country is going to be extended. And Caffeine AI is being made available there, which was part of DFINITY's commitment to the government, reaching academia and the startup sector as well as the state itself.
Pierre Samaties set those out alongside congratulations to the Pakistan Digital Authority for a forward-looking approach to the digital transformation of the entire country.

The Internet Computer is now a connector in Claude.
Search for it in Claude's connectors, connect it once, and start prompting. Set up a cloud engine for your business, launch a client portal, keep building, all from the same conversation.
Build on the Internet Computer directly from @claudeai.
Once cloud engines reach general release, Dominic Williams expects the fastest growth among startups, "because startups are flexible and have a huge incentive to be smarter and more efficient."
In Welch's article, Dominic also expects network effects, since software on one cloud engine is interoperable with software on others, subject to permissions, which he compares to a key dynamic behind early internet growth.
Open SaaS, a coming development, aims to offer free alternatives to SaaS apps, installable on a cloud engine as easily as a phone app and rebuilt as AIware, software with AI on the inside.
In Dominic's example from Welch's piece, an HR request is made in plain language: find the overlapping PTO requests in Customer Success, approve the rest, and draft emails asking those people to move their dates.
“A new kind of cloud, created the internet way.”
That is how Dominic presents the Internet Computer in Erika Masako Welch’s analysis of sovereign cloud.
A network extended so that, as well as connecting the software behind the web, email, chat and SaaS, it can also securely and resiliently host that software and its data.
Control over cloud infrastructure is becoming a boardroom issue, and two pressures are driving it.
Geopolitical tension means governments want certainty that foreign powers cannot access their data or cut off their infrastructure.
And AI is taking a growing role in building and running online services, on infrastructure designed for human developers and sysadmins.
Erika Masako Welch's article in @EntMagazineME brings both front and centre, following Dominic Williams and cloud engines on the Internet Computer.

“Every era of computing has a fight over who controls the infrastructure. In the AI era, that fight is about sovereignty: who owns the hardware a country or company runs on, who can see its data, and who can pull the plug.”
With this observation, Erika Masako Welch, Chief Content Officer of @LucidityInsight, explores how sovereign cloud becomes a strategic priority as governments and businesses confront their dependence on digital infrastructure.
In her analysis, Welch describes two forces driving this shift: geopolitical tensions that raise concerns over foreign access to data and infrastructure, and AI's growing role in building and running online services. For organizations that rely on cloud platforms to operate, control over that infrastructure becomes a boardroom issue.
At the center is the DFINITY Foundation's (@dfinity) Internet Computer, an open network that combines computing resources across data centers to host software and data. Its cloud engines allow organizations to choose the hardware supporting their services and change that configuration as their needs evolve.
Welch highlights founder Dominic Williams' claim that enterprises can move from hyperscaler computing resources to dedicated hardware in their home countries “without interrupting or even degrading the services you are running.”

"Sovereignty is important. Security is important. But maybe for a consumer, they don't understand that as well."
So Dr. Sohail Munir and the Pakistan Digital Authority are building ChatT around what a citizen uses day to day: the national digital ID, Raast for bank-to-bank payments, and the government services super app. AI chat is already in, because the platform is AI-native. All of it is easier to deliver inside this platform than through another company's APIs.

Dominic goes on to touch on the subject of AI.
Making the point that AI-powered hackers are making traditional compute infrastructure increasingly insecure, and that tamperproof software helps fix that.
He added that it matters when AI builds and updates services, which it can do at the speed of conversation.
On stacks that are not tamperproof, he said, security and sysadmin teams have to stay in the loop, and that slows production down a lot.
In the same article @PierreSamaties follows up to say:
Cloud engines are created from open source technology, free of hidden foreign backdoors and kill switches, and engines host tamperproof apps that cannot be hacked into, which is a game-changer for large and developing countries alike.
In his words, anything is possible.
