Think Before You Talk: Thinking Like an Australian

A Sovereign Approach to Reasoning Alignment in Large Language Models

Project MAGPiE represents a breakthrough in AI localisation. Rather than forcing models to “sound” Australian through prompts, we've embedded Australian reasoning patterns, legal frameworks, and cultural context directly into the model's thinking process.

The Challenge with Current LLMs

TRADITIONAL APPROACH
THE PROBLEM
  • Models trained on US-centric data and assumptions

  • Require massive system prompts (10,000+ tokens) to "act" Australian

  • Still reason with foreign legal and cultural frameworks

  • Brittle behavior and potential hallucinations

PROJECT MAGPiE
THE SOLUTION
  • Reasoning aligned with Australian context from the ground up

  • No need for extensive prompting - thinks Australian by default

  • Native understanding of ASIC, APRA, Australian law

  • Consistent, auditable reasoning for compliance

“Anyone can prompt an LLM to mime an Australian, but it will continue to reason the way it was trained. We've changed how the model thinks, not just how it speaks.”

Our Technical Innovation

Two-Tiered Fine-Tuning Architecture

1. Knowledge Embedding Phase

We distill knowledge from Australian domain data including:

  • Federal and state legislation

  • ASIC/APRA regulatory documents

  • Australian case law and precedents

  • Local business practices and norms

2. Cultural Language Mapping

Separately fine-tune output mapping for:

  • Australian English spelling and idioms

  • Local measurement units and formats

  • Cultural references and context

  • Professional communication norms
