Sovereign AI for public administrations.
Public bodies need AI they can run on their own terms. That means infrastructure they control, open models they can inspect, and the languages their citizens speak. ARK Core puts the whole platform inside your data centre, behind the APIs your integrators already use.
94% of European organisations call digital sovereignty strategically important. The EU's draft Cloud and AI Development Act would grade cloud sovereignty at four levels.

What a public service cannot hand to an outside API.
Citizen data
Records, applications and correspondence must stay under public control. Hosting in an EU region answers where data sits, not who runs the system or who can reach it.
Procurement and lock-in
A proprietary API ties a public service to one foreign vendor, and leaving takes time: 36% of organisations say moving away from a critical provider would take more than a year.

Local languages
Citizen services must work in the national language, not only in English.
Decisions about citizens are high-risk AI
Under the EU AI Act, AI that public authorities use to assess eligibility for essential public benefits and services, or to grant, reduce or revoke them, is high-risk. Those obligations apply from 2 December 2027.

What public bodies build on ARK.
Each one runs on open-weight models on your own infrastructure. While you prototype with public data, you can run it on ARK Cloud in the EU.
Citizen-service assistants
Answer questions in Polish with Bielik, or in 201 languages with the Qwen3.5 models.
Drafting and summarising
Prepare drafts and summaries of long case files for officials to review. A 64,000-token file reaches its first token in 4.7 seconds.
Meeting transcription
Turn recordings of council meetings and hearings into searchable text and subtitles with Whisper.
Records search
Search archives by meaning with multilingual bge-m3 embeddings in more than 100 languages.
Models you can inspect. A platform you can leave.
Inspectable
Every model is open-weight, with its licence and model card published. The model that answered is named in every response.
Inside your data centre
With ARK Core, the gateway, compute servers and models run on your infrastructure and are operated by your team. Nothing depends on outside services.
Logs without content
Every request carries a correlation id. Prompt fields are redacted by default, and generated text is not logged.
No single vendor
Open models from several makers sit behind standard OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible APIs, so a service can change models, or platforms, without a rewrite.

Built to stay up
ARK splits each model into stretches of layers spread across your GPUs and machines, and can hold a second copy of any stretch. If a server fails mid-request, the request is replayed on another path and the service keeps running. Servers can join or leave a running deployment without a restart.
The rules public-sector AI works under.
Open-weight models and self-hosted deployment avoid dependence on a single foreign provider. Your compliance assessment stays yours.
EU AI Act transparency obligations have applied since 2 August 2026, with content marking for generative systems already on the market from 2 December 2026. Obligations for Annex III high-risk systems, including AI used to assess eligibility for public benefits, apply from 2 December 2027.
Two ways to run ARK. One API.
ARK Core For public bodies
The platform and its models run on your NVIDIA GPUs, licensed per GPU and operated by your team. Our engineers can size it with you, prove it on your hardware and support the rollout.
ARK CoreOur EU infrastructureARK Cloud
Prototype on the hosted API with public data, then move in-house without code changes.
ARK CloudStart with one citizen service.
Tell us the service, the languages it needs and the infrastructure you have. We'll show you how ARK would run it, where, and what it takes. We can prove it on your own GPUs before you commit.
