Four Mac Studios. Two terabytes of unified memory. Models up to 1 trillion parameters. Full rack with NAS, managed switch, UPS, and cooling — everything private, nothing in the cloud. One senior partner spends 2 hours a day on tasks this cluster handles in minutes. At $800/hour, the hardware pays for itself in under 4 months.
The Sovereign Cluster is a purpose-built private AI rack. Four Mac Studio M5 Ultras connected via Thunderbolt 5 full mesh, pooling 2TB of unified memory into a single inference fabric. NAS for persistent storage, managed switch for inter-node traffic, UPS for power continuity.
It runs models that simply don't fit on single-node hardware — Kimi K2.5 (595GB INT4), full-precision Qwen3.5-397B, and future trillion-parameter models as they're released. All private, all local, all yours.
Unified memory means no VRAM bottleneck, no model sharding penalty. The entire model loads into memory and runs at full bandwidth — 819 GB/s per node, 3.2 TB/s total.

You can get similar capability from a cloud GPU cluster — if you're okay with your data leaving the building and a $40,000/month bill.
Rent the cluster and we handle everything, or build it out permanently and own the hardware outright. Either way, all data stays in your building.
Hardware included. We own it, maintain it, update it, and replace any failures. You just use it.
Full enterprise build: 4 Studios, Mac Mini agent workstations, complete rack infrastructure. You own everything. We maintain it.
The cluster is designed for organizations with serious AI workloads and serious data sensitivity. If that's you, let's talk through the spec and timeline.
