Sovereign AI · Athens

Sovereign AI for Greek business, priced on outcomes, never metered per token.

Data and compute under Greek and European control.

Open-weight models, fine-tuned on real Greek workloads and served from GPUs in Greek data centres. Voice agents for contact centres, an AI receptionist for small businesses, AI Employees for the mid-market, and the inference core underneath.

  • Customer data stays in Greece
  • Open-weight models in production
  • AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) dossier for every model

The platform at a glance: pick a layer or follow a call.

1 / 7 · Sovereign Inference Core

GPUs

On a callThe whole call runs on GPUs in Greek data centres or on your own premises.

2 / 7 · Sovereign Inference Core

Inference

On a callClio transcribes the caller, Metis chooses the tool and Calliope speaks the reply.

3 / 7 · Sovereign Inference Core

Router

On a callEach turn is routed to the model that fits the task, based on confidence.

4 / 7 · Business context

Company Brain

On a callThe agent reads what it needs from the Brain: who is calling, what they have and what is open.

5 / 7

Governance

On a callThe rule gate checks the proposed action against your rules and logs the decision.

6 / 7 · Skills & Agents registry

Agent harness

On a callThe agent runs a skill, such as looking up an order: a typed, tested unit, not a free-form prompt.

7 / 7 · Factory

Apps & channels

On a callA customer calls over SIP. The voice agent app owns the conversation and decides when to hand off to a person.

Every layer explained

Our inference stack runs in production on contact-centre workloads for a Greek telecom operator and a Greek bank; the AI Employee platform is live at a leading Greek publisher. See the measurements

Products

One sovereign core, four products

The products share one Company Brain, meaning your entities, your rules and an audit trail of every decision. You buy an outcome: an answered call, a booked appointment, an answer that matches your books. Never metered per token.

Platform

Seven layers, from the GPU up

A call, a chatbot, a coding session: every request crosses the same seven layers. Bring your own brain, model, skills or apps. Governance stays in place.

  1. Layer 1 / 7 · Sovereign Inference Core

    GPUs

    Dedicated GPU capacity in Athens data centres operated by Greek providers. Capacity is sized to the workload, so you know what one GPU carries before you commit.

    Business outcomeData and compute stay under Greek control, at a capacity cost you can plan.

    Bring your ownRun the same stack on your own premises.

  2. Layer 2 / 7 · Sovereign Inference Core

    Inference

    Four models of our own, each an open-weight base with a fine-tuned adapter, served on vLLM. The model is sized to the task, which is where the cost difference against a frontier API comes from.

  3. Layer 3 / 7 · Sovereign Inference Core

    Router

    One endpoint in front of every model. A request starts on a small model and moves to a larger one only when confidence is low.

    Business outcomeThe large model is used only when it is needed, and you change models without touching your application.

  4. Layer 4 / 7 · Business context

    Company Brain

    What the agents know about your business: customers, products, contracts and calendars as typed entities and relations, kept current through connectors to your systems.

    Business outcomeAnswers that match your books, because the agent works from your records and not from what a model remembers.

  5. Layer 5 / 7

    Governance

    The control layer between a model and anything it does. The model proposes; the rules decide.

    Rule gate
    Checks every proposed action before it runs
    Audit trail

  6. Layer 6 / 7 · Skills & Agents registry

    Agent harness

    Where a model becomes an agent. A small model with tested skills does work that would otherwise need a much larger one.

  7. Layer 7 / 7 · Factory

    Apps & channels

    Where the work arrives. The Factory turns a request or a “hire” into an App Manifest and provisions it; publishing is provisioning.

Where it runs

Your data stays in Greece. By rule, not by promise.

Customer data and all serving stay in Greek data centres. US APIs are never in the serving path. Frontier models are used only as judges and teachers in evaluation.

The Hellas Inference data-residency rule

The rule applies to every product served from the Hellas Inference core. AI Employee runs today on EU cloud with third-party model APIs and moves onto the Greek core in 2027; the rule applies to it from that migration.

Providers

What runs where today: Contact-centre workloads on dedicated capacity in Athens data centres. AI Employee on EU cloud until its 2027 migration to our Greek core. Training and evaluation at Greek sites and through PHAROS AI-Factory access; benchmarks on rented GPUs use non-customer data only.
