Who Tests the Most Powerful AI Before It Ships? Britain Pays Far More Than the US, but Not “10 Times” More

Britain just gave its AI Security Institute an extra £120 million, spread over four years. The US testing center at NIST runs on about $15 million a year. Per year, Britain spends roughly 8 to 9 times more, not “10 times” from the top-up alone.

In my own newsroom test (12 articles per language), Terra without reasoning matched GPT-6.1 Sol, and max was its worst setting. Why price per token is the wrong number, and what companies and users should do.
