Private AI for engineering teams

AI coding assistants that never leave your network

Private coding assistants and internal AI tools running on hardware you own. Your source code, prompts and outputs stay inside your walls, and your team learns agentic coding workflows that hold up on real work.

No code leaves your networkRuns on hardware you own
The problem

Why AI coding stalls at most companies

Your code goes to someone else's servers

Hosted coding assistants send source code and context to a third party. Security and legal reviews stall, or the answer is simply no.

Shadow AI is already happening

Engineers paste code into public chatbots anyway. Nobody knows what left the building, and there is no policy that people actually follow.

Tools without workflows

Licences get bought and adoption stays shallow. Nobody has shown the team how to use agents on a real codebase, with real reviews.

What we build

Private AI for the way your team ships

Private coding assistants

Code completion, chat and agentic coding against models hosted on your hardware, behind your firewall.

Internal AI tools

Search and Q&A over your codebase, docs, runbooks and tickets, without sending any of it to an outside AI API.

Agentic coding enablement

Hands-on sessions, playbooks and review practices so agents produce code your team will merge. See Agentic Engineering Enablement.

Ways to start

Two defined offers. Each starts with a free 30-minute call.

Private AI Readiness Assessment

1 to 2 weeksStarting at $7,500

For: Engineering leaders who want AI coding help but can't send code outside.

  • Which coding and internal-tool use cases are worth doing first
  • Hardware sizing for your team and the models you need
  • Cost comparison against hosted AI coding tools and APIs

Private AI Pilot

4 to 6 weeksStarting at $25,000 (hardware not included)

For: Teams ready to put a private assistant in front of real engineers.

  • A private coding assistant or internal AI tool for one team
  • Running on hardware you own, behind your firewall
  • No calls to outside AI APIs: your code stays in-house

How it works

From first call to daily use

1

Assess

We review your codebase, toolchain, security requirements and hardware, and pick the first use case.

2

Pilot

4 to 6 weeks: a private assistant or internal tool running on your hardware, used by one team on real work.

3

Enable

We work with your engineers on agentic coding workflows, prompts and review practices until the habits stick.

4

Expand

You keep the system and the playbooks. Roll out to more teams, or bring us back for the next use case.

FAQ

Common questions

Does any of our code leave the network?

No. Models, indexes and logs run on hardware you control, and the system makes no calls to outside AI APIs. If you later choose to download new models or updates, that is a deliberate step you control.

How do local models compare with hosted coding assistants?

The largest hosted models are still stronger on some tasks. Open models running locally handle a lot of day-to-day coding work well: on our own RTX 3090, 33B and 34B coding models such as deepseek-coder and codellama generate about 41 tokens per second, entirely on the GPU. The Readiness Assessment tests this against your codebase, so you know where the line is before you buy hardware.

Will it work with our editors and tools?

Many editor plugins and agent tools can be pointed at a self-hosted model. We check your specific toolchain during the assessment and tell you what works and what doesn't.

What hardware do we need?

It depends on how many people will use it and which models fit the work. Sizing is part of the Readiness Assessment, along with a cost comparison against cloud AI APIs. We use ai-on-a-box, our own tool, to turn a bare machine into a private inference API.

Who will we actually work with?

A senior SunFox architect leads every engagement. Our leadership brings experience from Microsoft, Volkswagen, Elektrobit, and Change Healthcare, building platforms used by 100M+ customers.
