Private & offline AI
AI that never leaves the building.
Frontier-class assistance on hardware you own — open-weight models on a DGX Spark-class appliance, retrieval over your own documents, and a hard boundary the data never crosses. Built for work where confidentiality is the product.

A DGX Spark-class appliance: petaflop-scale AI in a desktop footprint.
Why offline
Some work should never ride a third-party API
Cloud AI is the right answer for most teams — we deploy it every week. But for privileged, regulated, or sovereign work, the only defensible architecture is one where the data physically cannot leave.
Zero data egress
Prompts, documents, and answers stay on hardware you control. No cloud API, no third-party processor, no cross-border transfer to explain to a regulator.
You own the stack
Open-weight models running on your appliance. No per-seat licence creep, no vendor deprecating the model your workflows depend on.
Predictable cost
One hardware purchase plus a support plan — instead of usage-metered API bills that grow with adoption. Heavy internal use stops being a budget risk.
How it works
The whole model, on your desk
Your documents are indexed locally. An open-weight model answers from them on the appliance. The boundary is physical — nothing crosses it.
Who this is for
Built for work where confidentiality is the product
Legal
Solicitor-client privilegeDraft, summarize, and search matter files without waiving privilege. Client documents never touch a third-party cloud.
Medical & clinics
PHIPA / HIPAA postureChart summaries, intake triage, and letters on-site. PHI stays inside the circle of care.
Research & IP-heavy R&D
IP containmentQuery your unpublished results, patents-in-progress, and lab notebooks without leaking them into anyone's training data.
Education
FERPA-awareTutoring, grading assistance, and curriculum tools that keep student records where the law expects them.
Finance & accounting
Confidentiality by designAnalyze client books, model scenarios, and draft filings with records that never leave your office.
Government & public sector
Data sovereigntySovereign deployments on air-gapped networks. The model runs where the mandate says the data must live.
How we deliver it
From audit to an appliance your team runs
Private AI is delivered through the same ladder as every ReadyIQ engagement — assessed first, proven on your documents, and handed to a trained team.
1 · Assess
An AI Audit scopes the workflows, the sensitivity boundary, and the hardware tier that fits.
2 · Provision
We configure DGX Spark-class hardware with vetted open-weight models — sized to your workload.
3 · Deploy
Private retrieval over your documents. Everything indexed locally; nothing phones home.
4 · Train
Role-based enablement for the people who will run it — prompts, guardrails, escalation paths.
5 · Operate
Managed optimization: model updates, evals, and governance on a schedule you approve.
Platform enablement
Already approved an AI platform? We train on what you have.
Not every workflow needs to be offline. For everything else, we deliver role-based training inside the systems your IT and security teams already signed off on — no new vendor review required.

FAQ
Offline AI, honestly answered
›Is it really offline?
Yes. Inference runs entirely on the appliance. It can operate on an isolated VLAN or fully air-gapped network. Model updates arrive as scheduled, reviewed imports — not a live cloud dependency.
›What hardware does it run on?
For most teams, a compact DGX Spark-class desktop appliance delivers petaflop-scale inference in an office-friendly form factor. Larger workloads step up to workstation- or server-class NVIDIA hardware. We scope the tier during the audit.
›Which models can it run?
Vetted open-weight models — the current generation of Llama, Mistral, gpt-oss, and domain-tuned variants — selected per workload and evaluated on your own documents before go-live.
›How does it stay current?
Through the managed-optimization plan: periodic model refreshes, retrieval re-indexing, and eval runs, each applied as a reviewed update rather than a silent change.
›What does it cost?
Private deployments are scoped like any ReadyIQ engagement: the AI Audit (US$7,500) defines the build, then implementation covers hardware, deployment, and training. Book a call for a scoped estimate.
