Our Mission Maximum AI performance on your own infrastructure

Against data monopolies, for digital sovereignty. Artificial intelligence is the key technology of our time. Yet valuable expertise – from medicine, law, government, or the creative industries – must not be centralized by a handful of cloud corporations. This knowledge belongs where it originates: protected from extraction and uncontrolled use. onprem.ai stands for digital sovereignty. We enable companies to run the latest LLMs and machine learning models entirely on their own infrastructure. We are convinced that companies must own their data, models, and processes – free from proprietary ecosystems. Since 2023, we have been building the bridge for the mid-market: enterprise AI on-premises. We offer the simplicity of the cloud without its dependencies. Onprem as easy as Cloud. No ifs or buts.
