Frequently Asked Questions About Sovereign AI Development
What is sovereign AI development?
It is building an AI system that lives entirely on your own servers — not on someone else’s cloud. Your data stays with you, your team controls the AI, and no outside company can access it. It is the private option for businesses that cannot afford to share sensitive information with third-party platforms.
How much does building a sovereign AI system cost?
A basic proof-of-concept starts around $50,000–$150,000. A full production setup for a mid-size enterprise typically runs $150,000–$500,000. Large government or national-scale programs start at $1 million and up. We give you a clear estimate after a free consultation.
How long does sovereign AI development take?
A simple proof-of-concept takes 2–4 weeks. A production-ready deployment takes 8–16 weeks. A complete enterprise system with security and compliance built in takes 6–12 months. Your timeline depends on your goals and what infrastructure you already have.
What AI models do you use for sovereign AI?
We use open-weight models — AI models that organizations can run on their own servers without paying per use. Common choices include Meta’s Llama 4, Mistral, and DeepSeek R1. We test them on your actual data and pick the one that performs best for your needs.
How do you handle GDPR and HIPAA compliance?
We build compliance in from day one. Your data never leaves your environment, everything is encrypted, and every action in the system is logged. We also prepare all the documentation your legal and compliance teams need for audits.
Can you work with our existing servers and hardware?
Yes. We first check what you already have. If your servers can run AI workloads, we build on them. If you need more hardware, we help you procure it. Either way, everything stays under your physical control.
What is the difference between sovereign AI and OpenAI or Azure OpenAI?
With OpenAI or Azure, your data is processed on their servers, under their rules, in their country. With sovereign AI, everything runs on your own infrastructure. You own the model, you control the data, and nobody else has access. It also costs 10–50x less per query at high volumes.
Do you support fully offline AI deployments?
Yes. For defense, government, and high-security environments, we build AI systems with zero internet connection — completely cut off from the outside world. Nothing goes in or out.
How do you handle updates and maintenance after launch?
We monitor your system for performance issues, apply security patches, and retrain models when needed. This is available as an ongoing managed service so your team does not have to handle it internally.
