NOXTUA raises $ 92 million for its sovereign AI set up for the German legal system

Back in 2020., Hind It was a privacy based, starting AI startup specifically designed for smartphones. But this early experience ultimately saw that the company was heading for the development of a sovereign AI for the legal sphere. Xayn is now rebranded as NOXTUA and raised $ 92.2 million (approximately 81.2 million euros) Serie B.

The circle was led by strategic investor CH BECK, a leading legal publisher in Germany. For context, CH BECK effectively owns the storage of all legal cases and decisions in Germany, giving it a unique position. The idea is that NOXTUA will have access to its entire archive and legal news for its new legal AI product called BackS

Additional new investors on board include the high-performance computing specialists Northern Data Group, the largest Germany in the CMS CMS of Business Law Firm and the Global Law Firm Dentons. Previous and existing investors include Global Brain, KDDI Open Innovation Fund and Dominik Schiener.

The addition of northern data is not accidental. Beck will run as a sovereign AI of the cloud infrastructure of this company, which is contained in Germany.

Noxtua claims that its highly specialized AI can examine legal issues and analyze and prepare legal documents, all in a legally compatible way for clients, including those based in Germany. This is important because the legal adherence tape in Germany is extremely high, which makes CH Beck training absolutely important for accuracy. It includes 55 million documents-the biggest legal database in the German-speaking world.

As geopolitics cast a shadow on the idea of ​​managing German -based AI models of US -based infrastructure, Noxtua has signed a hosting partnership with Northern Data, which is based in Frankfurt.

Dr. Leif-Nissen Lundbæk, CEO and co-founder of NOXTUA, told TechCrunch to call that Noxtua uses his own version of a transformer model AI, but one is specifically trained in legal contracts. “We have already deployed it to many law firms and legal departments and partnered with CH Beck,” he said, “(which is) effectively” Thompson Reuters for law “in Germany.”

Lundbæk said Noxtua should take this route, as the founding models based on the United States are based on US data, in part, and UK data and contracts.

“It’s very different in countries such as Germany or France,” he added. “These models really fail by accuracy. Plus, government services are essentially legal, right? So you can’t just use an American AI model in a German legal context.”

NOXTUA technology was developed by research undertaken by the founders at the University of Oxford and the Imperial College of London, and later developed with CMS.

In a statement, Professor Dr. Klaus Weber, a member of the Executive Board at CH BECK, said: “The vision of Noxtua for a sovereign European legal and equals hand in hand with our values… Noxtua is a cornerstone of our Innovation Strategy.”
