Defense and critical infrastructure.

High-assurance models that never run on someone else's cloud — air-gapped, owner-keyed, and post-quantum by default. Built for institutions where the operating assumption is that the network is contested.

The model runs where the owner controls the metal, or it does not run

Sovereignty here means physical and cryptographic control, with no exceptions.

01

No external tenancy

The model is deployed on infrastructure the owner physically controls — never as a tenant on a third party's cloud. There is no shared control plane an outside operator could reach.

02

Air-gap capable

The model is engineered to run fully disconnected from public networks. Inference and updates can occur inside an isolated enclave with no dependence on external endpoints.

03

In-nation, on the owner's hardware

Training and serving run on the nation's own data-center and GPU capacity under its residency rules. The full lifecycle stays inside the sovereign and physical perimeter.

04

Owner holds keys and weights

The operator holds both the signing keys and the model weights as controlled assets. Nothing about the model's operation depends on a credential someone else can revoke.

Integrity is proven cryptographically, not assumed operationally

Every artifact in the deployment is signed, chained, and verifiable under post-quantum primitives.

01

ML-DSA-65 signing

Weights, configuration, and updates are signed under ML-DSA-65 (FIPS 204). The enclave verifies a post-quantum signature before loading a model, rejecting anything unsigned or altered.

02

Tamper-evident operation

Model actions and decisions are written to a hash-chained, tamper-evident ledger. Any modification of the record is detectable, giving investigators a trustworthy account of what the model did.

03

Verified supply chain

The lineage of weights, data, and dependencies is recorded and signed end to end. An operator can verify that the model in the enclave is exactly the reviewed artifact, with nothing injected.

04

Post-quantum by default

The assurance posture assumes an adversary with future cryptographic capability. Signatures and integrity guarantees are chosen to hold against that threat, not just today's.

A high-assurance model is one whose behavior stays inside a hard boundary

Constraint and observability are engineered in, so the model never becomes an uncontrolled actor.

01

Bounded autonomy

The model advises and analyzes; it does not take physical or financial action on its own. Any consequential action is gated behind an authorized human and key-controlled execution.

02

Full observability

Inputs, outputs, and decision context are logged to the tamper-evident ledger for after-action review. Operators can reconstruct exactly what the model saw and produced under pressure.

03

Deterministic guardrails

Hard constraints are enforced by deterministic logic outside the model, not by prompt instructions. Critical boundaries do not depend on the model choosing to respect them.

04

Fail-closed behavior

When integrity checks fail or context is missing, the deployment stops rather than proceeding. The default under uncertainty is to halt, not to improvise.

The capability survives the loss of the network and the vendor

High assurance includes operating when the outside world is unavailable or hostile.

01

Self-contained operation

Everything the model needs to run lives inside the enclave — weights, dependencies, and verification keys. A severed external link degrades nothing in the core capability.

02

No vendor dependency

Because the owner holds the weights and keys, operation does not hinge on a supplier remaining reachable or solvent. The capability is durable against the vendor disappearing.

03

Owner-controlled updates

Model updates are staged, signed, and applied on the owner's schedule through controlled media. Nothing changes in the enclave without the operator's explicit, verifiable action.

04

Hardening under audit

The high-assurance deployment is undergoing production hardening and external audit like the rest of the platform. Its guarantees are stated as design intent until that review is complete.
