Fiber laser cutting head mid-cut on aluminium sheet
Sovereign AI · Ventura, California

On-premises AI that makes real parts.

Agentic systems that run inside your building, on hardware you own, against data that never leaves. Backed by a working fabrication shop, so the software is tested against machines rather than assumptions.

Generated output

This part was described in a sentence.

A plain-language request went in. Forge produced a specification, checked it against real machine limits, repaired what failed, and wrote a cut-ready file — entirely on local hardware, with no external call.

The problem

The organisations with most to gain from AI are the ones least able to adopt it.

Not because the technology fails. Because the deployment model does.

Constraint 01

The data cannot leave

Controlled-information requirements, customer NDAs, and privilege obligations rule out sending drawings, specifications, or case files to a third-party endpoint. Most pilots end there.

Constraint 02

Metered pricing punishes volume

Per-token billing charges most for exactly the repetitive high-volume work that justified automating in the first place. Costs rise as adoption succeeds.

Constraint 03

Rented models get deprecated

Providers change terms, retire models, and shut down. A production workflow built on someone else’s roadmap inherits every decision they make.

What we build

A private AI stack, commissioned and handed over.

We specify the hardware, build the system, deploy open-weight models, encode your constraints, integrate it with how your team already works, and hand it over. You own it outright. No subscription, no metered call, no dependency on us.

Products

Four agents on one stack.

Each solves a different repetitive problem. All of them run on the same private infrastructure, against the same private data.

Flagship · Phase 1 operational

Forge — design to fabrication

Describe a part in plain language. Forge produces a specification, validates it against your actual machine limits, repairs anything that fails, and writes a cut-ready file. Nothing unvalidated reaches a machine.

Studio — private generative media

Brand-controlled image and video generation running on your own GPUs. Unreleased product imagery, campaign variants, and concept work stay inside the network perimeter, with no asset uploaded anywhere.

Intelligence — quoting and capacity

Autonomous quoting, material sourcing, and schedule reconciliation against live shop constraints. The agent reads the RFQ, checks stock and machine queues, and returns a defensible number with a lead time.

Checker — engineering review

Specification ingestion, tolerance and cost analysis, and design review grounded in your own internal documentation. Answers cite the source drawing or standard they came from.

Why us

Most AI companies cannot touch metal.

The hard part of applied AI in manufacturing is not the model. It is the boundary where a generated design has to become a real object with tolerances, a material, and a cost.

Software-only
  • ×Generates a design it cannot build
  • ×No feedback from production reality
  • ×Cannot validate manufacturability
  • ×Ships a file and hopes
Avid Inventions
  • Generates it and physically produces it
  • Production data feeds the next revision
  • Rules derived from our own machines
  • Ships a working part
