Infrastructure that gets smarter on your schedule.
Private AI hosting and maintenance is the managed-operations layer of a sovereign deployment: in-country hosting on hardware dedicated to youdomestic hosting on hardware dedicated to you, monitoring, patching, and a model lifecycle practice that evaluates every major open-weight release against your workloads — so the same hardware improves over time, on your schedule, not a vendor’s deprecation calendar.
Who it’s for
Sovereignty without building an ops team.
Most regulated organizations want the properties of owned AI — residency, pinned versions, zero egress, falling per-token cost — without standing up a GPU operations practice. The retainer closes that gap. Your deployment runs on your premises, in your colocation rack, or on dedicated hardware in a Canadiandomestic facility we manage; in every pattern, residency and control stay yours, and the only variable is who handles physical operations.
The lifecycle work is where the retainer earns its keep. Open-weight releases arrive monthly, and your infrastructure is model-agnostic: we benchmark major releases against your evaluation harness, migrate your fine-tuned adapters when a new base model wins, and document every change — a governance trail that regulators and auditors can follow.
The engagement
What managed operations covers.
- Hosting patterns — premises, your colo rack, or managed in-country facility with hardware dedicated to you.
- Operations — monitoring, observability, capacity management, serving-stack patches, and security updates.
- Model lifecycle — scheduled evaluations of new releases on your harness, adapter migrations, staged upgrades, version pinning and rollback.
- Governance — change documentation, audit-ready logs, and model-risk records maintained release over release.
- Support tiers — full managed operations through to advisory retainers for teams that run their own stack.
Deliverables, ongoing: uptime and capacity reporting, evaluation reports for each major model release, migration records, and a deployment that is measurably better each quarter on the same hardware.
Questions we get
Frequently asked questions
What does the maintenance retainer include?
Monitoring and observability, serving-stack patches and security updates, capacity reviews, and — the part that compounds — model lifecycle management: benchmarking major open-weight releases against your workloads, migrating your fine-tuned adapters, and upgrading only when the new release wins on your own evaluation harness. Open-weight releases now arrive monthly; the retainer turns that cadence into an asset instead of a chore.
Does managed hosting compromise sovereignty?
No. In the managed hosting pattern, your models run on hardware dedicated to you in an in-country facility — Canadian jurisdiction for Canadian clients, US for American — with your data residency, your access controls, and your audit trail. The difference from on-premise is only who handles physical operations. The weights, adapters, and data remain yours in every pattern.
Can we run operations ourselves and use you only for upgrades?
Yes. Support tiers range from full managed operations to an advisory retainer where your team runs the stack and we handle model evaluations, migration engineering, and escalation. Air-gapped environments typically choose the advisory pattern, with support structured to match security requirements.
