One runtime.
Three ways to deploy.

Same ARK inference engine across the line — from zero-setup cloud API to fully air-gapped on-premises. Pick the control model that matches your risk posture, your operating preference, and the platform you already run.

THE LINEUP

Pick the ARK that fits you.

Three deployment modes, one codebase. Same models, same OpenAI v1-compatible API, same patch cycle — the only thing that changes is where it runs and who operates it.

NOT SURE WHICH ONE?

Start here. Three quick questions.

Most customers land on one of these three patterns within a minute of reading them.

I want to start building today, no infrastructure.
You want ARK Cloud. Sign up, get free credits, call the OpenAI v1-compatible API from your existing SDK. Every token runs in the EU with zero retention.
I already run Keycloak, ELK, Prometheus — I just need the inference engine.
You want ARK Core. Licensed runtime only. You integrate it into your existing platform stack. If you need the managed services later, upgrading to ARK Tailored is a config change, not a migration.
Data must stay inside my perimeter, and I want the full platform managed for me.
You want ARK Tailored. Full ARK Platform deployed on your cloud or on-prem, with identity, logging, telemetry, monitoring, and Portal included. Configured to your standards, handed over to your team, Software Support SLA.
AT A GLANCE

Side-by-side comparison.
