Air-gapped

A computing environment physically or logically isolated from the internet, used for the most sensitive data and systems.

An air-gapped deployment works with no outside connection at all: no API calls, no telemetry, no automatic updates. It is the typical requirement of defense environments, critical industry, or legal and finance teams handling confidential deals.

Running AI air-gapped requires open-source models executed entirely locally, local document indexing, and manually applied updates. It is the maximum sovereignty level — impossible with ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini or any cloud AI.

Sovereign AI, in practice

Every AI model, deployed on your infrastructure, with your documents connected.
