Common ask. Defence suppliers, legal practices, healthcare, regulated finance, and many engineering shops have a hard rule that company IP cannot leave the corporate network. Core Nova deploys local open-weight models on your hardware or inside your private cloud, with no internet egress or with controlled outbound only. Your prompts, your documents, and your IP never cross the boundary. We have deep operating experience picking the right model for the hardware you already own (or specifying what to buy), running the inference stack, building the retrieval and guardrails around it, and wiring it into the workflow. The trust page details the four configurations we run (Cloud, VPC, On-prem, Air-gapped) and exactly which data crosses which boundary in each.
