Why local AI

A private AI lab. No limits on research and experimentation.

We asked the same question every team eventually asks. Why are we still renting GPUs to run our own research? So we built the lab at home and ran our work on it. Now we build the same for you.

Memory capacity

128 GB unified memory per node. Enough headroom for a 70 billion parameter model, the embeddings, and the retrieval working set, on one box.

Continuous evaluation

Evals, embedding rebuilds, and regression checks run on a schedule, not on a billable trigger. Quality assurance becomes operational, not a cost.

Data stays private

Embed contracts, records, and logs without source text or vectors ever leaving the building. Data-residency questions are settled before they get asked.

Reproducible experiments

Track which model version produced which outputs, under which configuration, on which dataset. Full experimental record, no pressure to cut runs short.

Right-sized hardware

Grace Blackwell or AMD Ryzen AI Max matches internal workloads. No H100/H200 compute headroom your workload will never use.

Turnkey delivery

Hardware procured through NPU Labs supplier partnerships. The stack lands configured: runtime, embedding pipeline, vector store, observability.

Inside the lab

Data science workflows on infrastructure you control.

The lab is the product, not the box. The hardware is what runs the work; the work is what teams actually buy.

01 / STAGE

Data and sampling

Build the dataset before the model sees a thing.

  • Jupyter-based experimentation
  • Synthetic data generation
  • Embeddings and vector search

02 / STAGE

Train and adapt

Where open models meet your domain.

  • Fine-tuning
  • Computer vision and multimodal

03 / STAGE

Evaluate

Score outputs and catch regressions before they ship.

  • Model evaluation

04 / STAGE

Deploy and run

Inference, retrieval, and agents on your own hardware.

  • Local inference
  • RAG pipelines
  • Agent development
  • Voice and video pipelines

Private Lab

A private ML lab on hardware you own.

A workbench for experimentation, fine-tuning, embeddings, and evaluation. NVIDIA positions DGX Spark for local development, inference, fine-tuning, and data science, with fine-tuning up to 70B and inference up to 200B on a single unit. The stack lands configured and operational, not assembled from parts by the team whose time should go to the ML work.

Jupyter environment

Notebooks for analysis, model testing, and reproducible research. The working surface for the team.

Inference runtime

OpenAI-compatible endpoints served on vLLM, TRT-LLM, or llama.cpp, sized to the unit or the node.

Embedding pipeline & vector store

Local embeddings and a Qdrant-backed store, so RAG retrieval runs without sending documents off-network.

Fine-tuning

Adapt open-weight models. NVIDIA positions DGX Spark for fine-tuning up to 70B on a single unit.

Evaluation tooling

DeepEval and RAGAS wired in to score quality and catch regressions on a schedule.

Observability

Utilisation, latency, time-to-first-token, and throughput across the stack.

Model access

The preferred model registry, cached and served locally across reasoning, coding, multimodal, and voice.

Dev tools & agents

Your IDE and agents, on models you host.

The lab serves OpenAI-compatible endpoints, so the assistants and agent SDKs your developers already use point at your private models instead of a vendor's hosted ones. Nothing is locked to a single provider. You choose the model, and you change it without changing the tools.

Because the models are yours, your standards go in.

A self-hosted model can be grounded in your own context with RAG. The assistant stops answering like the public internet and starts answering like your best engineer.

Dev standards

Coding standards, lint and review rules, naming and commit conventions, retrieved at generation time so suggestions arrive already in house style.

Architecture preferences

Approved patterns, ADRs, the stack you actually run, and what's off-limits, so the agent designs to your architecture, not a generic public default.

Proprietary RAG

Internal libraries, service catalog, API contracts, past PRs, and runbooks, all grounded in your codebase and knowledge, never sent to an external service.

The result: an assistant that codes to how your team builds, on infrastructure where the code, the prompts, and the context never leave the network.

Evaluation & MLOps

The evaluation loop, run as often as it should be.

A model that scores well at deployment won't necessarily score well three months later. Customer language shifts, new products appear, queries drift. Continuous evaluation is what makes that degradation visible before it becomes a business problem. On owned hardware each scheduled eval batch is electricity, not a billable job, so the loop runs on the schedule quality demands.

Classification

Labelling, routing, sentiment, document categories.

  • Precision
  • Recall
  • F1 (macro / weighted / micro)

Generation

Summaries, responses, generated records.

  • ROUGE
  • BLEU
  • BERTScore
  • Perplexity

Retrieval (RAG)

Did the right documents come back?

  • Recall@k
  • MRR
  • NDCG
  • Context precision
  • Context recall

Grounding (RAG)

Did the model use them without fabricating?

  • Faithfulness
  • Answer relevancy

Built with DeepEval and RAGAS. The pipeline re-runs whenever the document corpus changes, the embedding model is updated, retrieval parameters are adjusted, or the generation model is replaced, and on scheduled passes over labelled samples drawn from live traffic.
