Real AI McCoy
For Infrastructure Engineers & Technical Leaders

Deploy Intelligence.
Own the Stack.

Air-gapped, containerized, zero-egress. We engineer high-availability AI appliances designed for data sovereignty and offline-first inference — built for environments where a public API dependency is an unacceptable risk.

zero-egress containerized RAG pipeline edge inference air-gapped capable no vendor lock-in on-premise
Stack Architecture

Every Layer. Fully Controlled.

No SaaS dependencies. No managed services calling home. The entire inference pipeline runs on hardware you own.

L5 API Gateway & Interface REST / WebSocket Authenticated endpoints for internal clients. No external exposure.
L4 RAG Orchestration LangChain / Custom Context retrieval, prompt construction, and result synthesis.
L3 Vector Database Chroma / Qdrant Semantic embeddings of your proprietary corpus. Local disk only.
L2 Inference Engine Ollama / vLLM On-device model serving. Quantized LLMs from 7B to 70B parameters.
L1 Container Orchestration Docker / Podman Modular, versioned service containers. Isolated per workload.
L0 Hardware Layer Bare Metal Purpose-built appliance. No hypervisor tax. Full GPU/CPU access.
Deployment Philosophy

Engineered for Sovereignty

🔒
Zero External Dependencies
No API calls to OpenAI. No telemetry to Anthropic. No model weights fetched at runtime. The system is fully self-contained and functional in a Faraday cage if required.
📦
Containerized Modularity
Each component of the stack ships as an isolated, versioned container. Swap the inference engine, upgrade the vector DB, or roll back a pipeline change — without touching adjacent services.
🔄
Offline-First by Design
Internet connectivity is optional, never required. Initial provisioning can be air-gapped via physical media. Runtime inference requires zero network egress.
📈
Horizontal Scalability
The appliance architecture supports multi-node clustering for high-availability deployments. Add compute nodes to scale inference throughput without re-architecting.
🧩
Model Agnostic
Deploy Llama, Mistral, Phi, Gemma, or custom fine-tuned models. The stack is model-agnostic — switch or run multiple models simultaneously based on task requirements.
🔍
Full Observability
Every inference request is logged locally: model used, token count, latency, source document citations. Complete audit trail. No data leaves your environment.

Deployment Process

From Spec to Production

A structured engagement model designed to minimise your team's time-on-task.

01

Discovery & Scope

We map your existing data sources, network topology, hardware constraints, and compliance requirements. Output: a signed scope document with hardware BOM, stack configuration, and rollout timeline.

02

Hardware Provisioning

We source, configure, and burn-in the appliance. Containers are built, base models are pulled and quantized, and the RAG pipeline is configured. Delivered ready-to-ingest. Typical lead time: 5–10 business days.

03

On-Site Installation & Integration

Physical rack/shelf installation, network integration, and auth layer configuration. If you have existing SSO or LDAP, we integrate. API endpoints are documented for your internal tooling team. Estimated on-site time: 2–4 hours.

04

Corpus Ingestion & Validation

Your document corpus is chunked, embedded, and indexed into the vector store. Retrieval quality is validated against a ground-truth Q&A set you provide. Embedding pipeline is repeatable for continuous corpus updates.

05

Handoff & Ongoing Support

Full runbook delivered. Your team is trained on corpus management, model swaps, and observability dashboards. Support tiers available from pure break-fix to fully managed. You own the hardware; we back the stack.

Our Engineering Mandate
"We engineer high-availability AI appliances designed for data sovereignty and zero-egress inference. By isolating compute from public API dependencies, we ensure your proprietary data never leaves your environment — providing a hardened, scalable foundation for mission-critical intelligence." — Real AI McCoy  ·  Deployment Philosophy
