Residency
Enforced, not promised
Cloud residency is a region setting and a promise. Here the models, documents, indexes and inference run on your hardware, so residency is a property of the deployment, not a clause to audit.
Why Private AI · Sovereignty
Sovereignty by architecture, not by contract.
Data residency you enforce yourself, from a European vendor under French law, with air-gap operation when policy demands it.
Three questions procurement actually asks.
Where does the data go, whose law governs the vendor, and what happens if the connection has to be cut.
Jurisdiction
No vendor-held copy exists
Your documents never reach us, so there is no copy at the vendor for any jurisdiction to compel. LM-Kit is a French company, and the licence agreement is governed by French law.
Independence
Runs with the cable cut
Pre-provision models and operate fully air-gapped: no account, no activation, telemetry export off until enabled, and the documentation shipped inside the server.
The EU AI Act rewards operators in control.
Obligations phase in through 2026 and 2027, and most of them are easier to meet on infrastructure you control than through a provider you can only ask.
Control
You decide what runs
Models are chosen, pinned and versioned by your operators. Nothing changes underneath your system because a provider shipped an update.
Evidence
Records you own
Attributed request history, actor-level audit of administrative changes, and telemetry that stays on your side: the raw material of oversight, held by you.
Locality
Processing where the data lives
Document extraction, search and inference happen beside the data they read, which keeps cross-border transfer questions from arising in the first place.
This page is engineering, not legal advice: your counsel maps the obligations, the architecture supplies the control points.
A European vendor, checkably so.
Sovereignty procurement starts with who the vendor answers to, so here are the facts rather than the flag.
