Frequently Asked Questions
Pre‑launch preview. Projected launch: 2026.
Quick answers about our sovereign AI platform, green infrastructure and roadmap.
Platform
What is sovereign AI hosting?Jurisdiction
All compute, storage, model weights and transient data remain physically in Canada under Canadian legal jurisdiction only. No foreign access pathways.
Which AI models will you host first?
DeepSeek (latest open variants) and select Meta models (Llama family) with Canadian-tuned inference endpoints.
Can I fine‑tune models?
Yes—managed fine‑tuning (beta) with confidential dataset isolation, lineage tracking, and reproducible training manifests.
Do you provide on-prem or hybrid?
Roadmap includes hybrid sovereign edge modules (Vault Edge) for regulated sectors—register interest via contact.
Security & Compliance
Which privacy laws do you align with?
PIPEDA, Privacy Act, provincial health privacy statutes, and forthcoming AI transparency guidance. Data never leaves Canada.
How is tenant isolation enforced?
Hardware-rooted attestation, encrypted NVMe pools, network micro‑segmentation, per‑tenant KMS and signed workload manifests.
Can you sign data residency attestations?
Yes—automated residency and access pathway attestation PDFs available (enterprise tier) plus quarterly audit packages.
Sustainability
What drives your efficiency advantage?
Cold-climate free cooling, granular liquid loop distribution, high-efficiency UPS (<99% eco mode) and workload thermal orchestration.
Do you offer carbon reporting?
Monthly per‑tenant carbon intensity and avoided emissions dashboard with downloadable attestations.
Pricing & Access
How is pricing structured?
Transparent tiers: Base inference, dedicated throughput, fine‑tune clusters, and sovereign compliance bundle. Public calculator (Q4 2025).
How do I join the beta?
Submit a use case via the contact form selecting “AI Beta Access” – we prioritize Canadian public interest and sustainability projects.
Roadmap
When is GA?
General Availability for core inference planned mid‑2026 after regulated sector validation cycles.
Will you open source tooling?
Select operational transparency tooling (telemetry scrubbing, sovereignty attest) will be MIT licensed.
