Air-Gapped Deployment

Air-gapping is the strongest isolation posture and the one most often assumed impossible for AI, because the prevailing model is a hosted API. It becomes feasible when inference runs locally, at which point the constraint moves from connectivity to capability — whether locally-runnable models are sufficient for the work. For many enterprise tasks, summarization, classification, extraction and drafting, they are.

Embedded models including Llama, Qwen and ONNX run within the organization's infrastructure in Centralpoint, with on-premises treated as a first-class deployment mode rather than a constrained variant. The governance layer, retrieval surface and audit artefacts behave identically; what changes is where inference executes.
