We view sovereignty
from a holistic perspective.

In a world of permanent uncertainty, stability takes on new meaning. True sovereignty means: peace of mind through control over what matters.
For us, this translates into the following credo: Control over what matters

A strategically managed software & AI supply chain, maximum freedom of choice in infrastructure, and clear decision-making power over operating models.

Damit verlässliches Denken die Grundlage automatisierten Handelns wird – und Ihre kognitiven Workloads den geschäftlichen Nutzen von KI auf eine neue Stufe heben.

Let's talk about the Software- & AI-Supply Chain

Anyone bringing high-end AI into their business processes cannot afford to be vulnerable in their supply chain.

Why the supply chain must be considered

When you integrate high-end AI into business-critical processes, you need to be able to rely on every link in the software supply chain.

Dependencies arise not just from infrastructure—but also from libraries, frameworks, and licenses.

That’s why we ensure an auditable, resiliently managed supply chain that remains stable long-term—technically, legally, and organizationally.

Open-Source Components with Responsibility
We rely on proven open-source projects from major international foundations with stable, global communities—such as Kafka or Keycloak. These components are considered secure, verifiable, and viable for the long term. They form the foundation of a transparent, resilient system architecture.
Proprietary Services Under Our Own Control

We develop the central components of the Thinking Machine architecture ourselves. We deliberately do not release them under open source, to protect the integrity of the technology and prevent immediate imitation. This keeps control over critical software components in European hands.

A Measured Licensing Strategy
We ensure that all components used are under permissive, geopolititcally neutral licenses. Even if individual countries impose export controls, operation remains possible—because global communities and open standards secure its continuation.
No dependency on non-European legal jurisdictions
Our entire software supply chain is not subject to any non-European strategic control. This is the foundation of true digital sovereignty—free from vulnerability and vendor lock-in.

True sovereignty arises
from maximum flexibility

All components of the Thinking Machine are containerized and run on Kubernetes as a universal entry point. This keeps infrastructure choice flexible—whether cloud or on-premise, European or hybrid.
On-Premise / Your own Data Center

The embraceable platform on your own hardware. Also deployable in air-gapped setups.

Bring-Your-Own-Cloud

Whether hyperscaler or European cloud—the embraceable platform in your own cloud account.

Hybride Setups
Due to our modular design, we support a wide range of hybrid setups.

This freedom of choice gives back operational and strategic control—and allows for high-end AI completely outside the US CLOUD Act. For example, with our partner IONOS, you can operate our technology 100% on European cloud infrastructure, within European legal jurisdictions.

We need to talk about freedom of choice in operating models—because sovereignty doesn't end at deployment.

Companies differ—in resources, strategies, and security requirements. We enable you to determine the degree of autonomy yourself.

Control doesn't end with installation

How a Thinking Machine is operated as “Cognitive Application Infrastructure” is part of corporate strategy.

Some organizations want maximum autonomy; others prefer shared or fully outsourced operating models.

We support every variation—with clearly defined interfaces, auditability, and tiered responsibility.

This way, you retain control over data, access, and decisions in any operating model.

Self-Managed

Full autonomy for companies with their own IT organization. We provide the technology, you handle the operation—including detailed documentation and support.

Co-Managed

Ideal for clients who want to share operations and responsibility. We handle monitoring, updates, and security checks; you retain control.

Fully Managed

For companies that prefer a quick start. We handle operation and maintenance—on your infrastructure or in European cloud environments.

Let's talk about the semantic intelligence of the Thinking Machine

For us, the language model is not a center of power, but a component—controllable, interchangeable, and embedded in your governance.
Our Thinking Machine works with the language models of your choice. Depending on your goals, you can use cloud-based, closed-source models—for maximum performance—or open-weight models on your own infrastructure—for maximum resilience and traceability. In both cases, the control remains the same: Intelligence follows your architecture, not the other way around. This is how AI remains manageable—technically, organizationally, and legally.

Closed Models

The leading models from OpenAI, Anthropic, etc., achieve the best results in our Thinking Machines. However, we must be mindful of dependencies.

Open Weight Models

Nevertheless, Thinking Machines also deliver outstanding results with leading open-weight models (such as Llama 3.3 70B).

Open Source Models

In the context of transparency & compliance requirements, open-weight models (like Olmo 2) are gaining importance. You can also use these in our Thinking Machine.
In risk-sensitive scenarios, we recommend operating Thinking Machines based on leading open-weight models.

Digital Resilience
in geopolitically turbulent times

What sovereignty means to us

Sovereignty is not a political term, but a technical and organizational principle: control over your own systems, transparency across the supply chain, and freedom of choice over infrastructure and operations.

We create these conditions—structurally, not symbolically.

Your Benefit

You remain in control, capable of action, and legally independent. This is not theory, but resilience in practice—in technology, organization, and responsibility.

This is how sovereignty becomes the framework for operational and strategic resilience.
