SCX MAGPiE

Thinking like an Australian.

Project MAGPiE is a sovereign approach to reasoning alignment in large language models. Instead of forcing models to sound Australian through prompts, the project embeds Australian reasoning patterns, legal frameworks, and cultural context into the model's thinking process.

The challenge

Generic LLMs often reason from foreign assumptions.

Traditional approach
Problem
MAGPiE direction
US-centric training data
Foreign legal and cultural defaults
Australian context from the ground up
Massive system prompts
Brittle behavior and token overhead
No extensive prompting to act Australian
Surface localization
Sounds local but reasons elsewhere
Native understanding of ASIC, APRA, law, language, and culture
