Cloud AI is metered, foreign-hosted, and built to keep you renting. Arsenale runs frontier-class models on the hardware you already own. Sovereign by construction, under £0.01 per agent decision, zero data egress.
Cloud AI charges you per token, ships your data through someone else's infrastructure, and locks you into pricing you don't control. Every prompt is a meter spinning. Every document a sovereignty risk. Every API outage a single point of failure for your entire operation.
Arsenale inverts the model. We deploy teams of specialised agents that monitor, analyse, and act across your operation (finance, compliance, risk, legal, infrastructure) around the clock, on your hardware. Your data never leaves your building. Inference is unmetered. The system thinks locally, acts locally, and learns from your business, not anyone else's.
Each agent is a specialist. Together, they form a workforce that covers every department a company needs, without hiring.
Deadline tracking, filing compliance, board resolution drafting, statutory register monitoring across multi-entity structures.
Treasury monitoring, intercompany invoicing, runway analysis, contract management, accounts preparation.
Real-time risk assessment, regulatory scanning, circuit breakers, macro-economic monitoring, drawdown management.
Server health monitoring, disk/memory/latency tracking, ledger divergence detection, automated alerting.
Document drafting, IP assignment tracking, licence agreement generation, compliance gap analysis.
Email triage, macro digest processing, market surveillance, cross-agent synthesis, daily executive briefings.
The entire stack runs on a single machine with unified memory. No internet required for inference. No tokens metered. No vendor lock-in. No data egress. The cloud's failure modes (outages, rate limits, pricing changes, jurisdictional risk) are not failure modes for Arsenale because the cloud is not in the loop.

The same agent architecture that runs business operations can coordinate military command, control, and ISR workflows. Sovereign compute. Air-gapped capable. No cloud dependency in theatre.
DASA grant applications target: July 2026.
The cloud sells AI as a service. We sell it as infrastructure you own outright. Closing that stack (application layer, model weights, silicon) is the work.
Sovereign AI runtime in production. 120B-parameter MoE on consumer hardware at 18 tokens per second, under £0.01 per decision.
Our own model weights. Trained on UK compute. Tuned for the agent workloads our customers actually run.
Silicon design. Closing the sovereign stack from application layer to the metal.
The Arsenale di Venezia was the first mass-production facility in human history. At its peak, 16,000 workers could build a fully-equipped warship in 24 hours. Assembly-line manufacturing, centuries before Henry Ford. The English word "arsenal" derives from the Venetian Italian "arsenale."
We took the name because we're building the same thing for intelligence. A production facility, not for ships but for autonomous agents that do the work of entire departments. Same city. Same principle. New century.
