Capabilities / Private AI & On-Premise LLMs
Private AI. Your data. Your infrastructure. Your intelligence.
Deploy production language models inside your own environment — on-premise, private cloud, hybrid or air-gapped — so confidential data never has to leave infrastructure you control.
[ The problem ]
Confidential data can't go to a public AI API.
Contracts, engineering documents, certifications and operational data are often exactly the kind of information an organization is contractually, legally or reputationally required to keep inside its own environment — which rules out most consumer and public-cloud AI services by default.

[ Use cases ]
Private copilot over confidential documents
An assistant grounded in engineering documents, contracts or specifications that never leave your environment.
Air-gapped assistant for a secure facility
Fully offline deployment for environments where no external network connection is permitted.
On-prem contract intelligence
Search and analysis over legal and commercial documents, running entirely inside your infrastructure.
A small model on modest hardware
A right-sized SLM for one specific task, instead of a large general-purpose model you can't justify running locally.
[ Architecture ]
The data plane stays in your environment.
Ingestion
Documents and data enter the pipeline inside your environment.
Private vector store
Retrieval infrastructure runs in-environment, not on a third-party service.
In-environment inference
The model runs on-prem, in your private cloud, or at the edge — never a public API call.
Application
Your copilot, search tool or agent sits on top, with no data egress in the loop.
No data egress to third-party model APIs in a private deployment pattern.
[ Deployment models ]
Run it wherever your data has to live.
On-Premise
Inference and data stay entirely within your own data center or facility. The highest degree of control, for the most sensitive workloads.
Private Cloud
A dedicated, isolated cloud environment under your control or your provider agreement — infrastructure you control without owning hardware.
Hybrid
Sensitive workloads stay in-environment; less sensitive workloads use shared or public infrastructure where that trade-off makes sense.
Edge
Inference runs on-device or on-site, including offline and low-connectivity settings.
[ Security considerations ]
In private and air-gapped deployments, inference and data remain within infrastructure you control. Specific controls — encryption, network isolation, access management, retention — are defined by your requirements and threat model per engagement. See Security for the practices we work from.

FAQs
Can this run fully offline / air-gapped?
Yes, subject to your environment. Air-gapped deployment is one of the core patterns we design for, not an edge case.
Do we need our own GPUs?
Not necessarily — on-prem, private cloud or hybrid are all options. We size the infrastructure to the workload during scoping.
Open-source or commercial models?
We select per requirement. Private deployment generally favors open-weight models you can host yourself, but the right choice depends on the task.
Can our data be used to train anyone else's model?
In private deployments, your data stays in your environment — we design explicitly for that, and data-use terms are governed by the engagement agreement.
