A product of AIPE · On-premises inference appliance
The monolith.
monolith brings AIPE’s engines to your floor — probe, inquiry, and reason running as real-time local inference on a bespoke machine you control: NVIDIA GPUs, high-capacity RAM, modern CPUs, clustered for high availability. Nothing leaves the building, and you can run it fully air-gapped.

A cluster of NVIDIA GPUs, RAM, and modern CPUs, spec’d to your workload and clustered for high availability. The machine is yours, and so are the keys.
§ 01 · What it is
The engines run where your data already is.
monolith is AIPE’s software stack delivered as hardware: a bespoke, on-premises appliance — NVIDIA GPUs, high-capacity RAM, modern CPUs — that runs probe, inquiry, and reason as real-time local inference. No cloud dependency, no data egress, no third-party model calls. You get the engines on your own floor, behind your own boundary — spec’d to your workload, installed, supported, and kept current by us.

§ 02 · Why on-prem
Cloud AI sends your data out. monolith keeps it in.
Most AI means your most sensitive data leaves the building — to a provider’s cloud, a shared model, someone else’s logs. For a bank, a hospital, or a defence programme, that’s a non-starter. monolith works the other way: the model runs where the data already lives, under your control, with the option to cut the network entirely.
- Your data leaves the building
- Shared, multi-tenant models
- Egress you have to trust and log
- An attack surface you don’t control
- Availability at a vendor’s mercy
- No option to go dark
- Inference runs on your floor
- Bespoke hardware · your tenancy
- No egress — nothing leaves the boundary
- A perimeter you own, hardened by us
- Highly available · clustered
- Air-gap on demand
§ 03 · What runs on it
Every AIPE engine, on your hardware.
- 01
probe
Verifiable audit agents — every finding proven by a reproducible evidence bundle, run against your estate without the estate ever leaving.
- 02
inquiry
The grounded research engine — turns your sources into typed, cited, structured knowledge with no data egress.
- 03
reason
The real-time reasoning engine — persistent memory and calibrated judgment, running entirely on the local model.
- 04
Your workloads
Bring your own models and services; the appliance runs them alongside ours, under the same boundary and the same operator.
- NVIDIA-accelerated
- Spec’d per workload
- Kubernetes-based · HA
- Air-gap option
- Installed & supported
§ 04 · Where it fits
Built for the floors where data can’t leave.
monolith is for organisations that are not allowed — by regulator, by contract, or by threat model — to send their data to someone else’s cloud.
- 01
Financial services
Where customer data, positions, and models are the business — and the regulator, not the vendor, sets the terms of where they may run.
- 02
Healthcare & life sciences
PHI and clinical data that cannot leave the hospital network. The inference comes to the ward, not the ward’s data to a cloud.
- 03
Government & defence
Classified and controlled environments where connectivity itself is the risk. The appliance runs fully air-gapped, no cord to cut.
- 04
Critical infrastructure
Sovereign and operational data under mandate to stay in-country and in-house — energy, transport, and the law firms that serve them.
§ 05 · The build
Spec’d to your workload, not a fixed box.
monolith is bespoke. We benchmark candidate NVIDIA GPUs against your actual models and latency targets, size RAM and CPU to the workload, and cluster the result for high availability on Kubernetes. You get a machine built for what you run — not a one-size SKU, and not an overspend. We’re still testing configurations, so the spec is a conversation, not a catalogue number.
Security is in the boundary, not in secrecy: no data egress, your keys, an air-gap option, and a perimeter we harden and support. We deliver the hardware, the install, the software, the updates, and the data pipelines — a managed appliance we spec with you, test before it ships, and keep current.
Bring the model to your floor.
Tell us your constraints — the regulator, the data, the threat model — and we scope an appliance to match: connected or air-gapped, installed and supported, running the engines where your data already lives.
