your data.
your choice of model.
three tiers, one goal. you decide where the bytes live and which model reads them. we architect for portability, not lock-in.
three tiers.
fully self-hosted
- · open-weights model, no vendor calls
- · runs on your hardware or swiss dc
- · air-gapped deployment available
- · no data ever leaves your perimeter
managed, jurisdictionally controlled
- · multimodal reasoning supported
- · data boundary in frankfurt or zurich
- · european sovereign cloud options
- · premium quality, european jurisdiction
any provider · your rules
- · claude, gpt, gemini, or open models
- · route by task, cost, or policy
- · switch providers in a config change
- · no lock-in your board has to justify
different in ways
that matter.

sovereignty & compliance.
where does our data actually live?
swiss hosted by default. european union residency on request. on-premise and air-gapped for regulated industries. data never touches us infrastructure unless you configure it to.
what happens in a fully sovereign deployment?
an open-weights model runs on your hardware or our swiss data center. no api calls to any us-based AI provider. every byte of your knowledge stays inside your perimeter.
how do you handle gdpr, finma, and dsg?
our default posture aligns with all three. audit logs on every read and write. source-level access control. role-based query control. compliance documentation for your audit teams included in every engagement.
