## Who we work with

- AI and GPU platform companies: GPU clouds, inference providers, model companies and hardware vendors
- Teams that need AI kept private: regulated enterprises, the public sector, security technology and data-centre operators
- Data-heavy businesses moving to AI: manufacturing, consumer goods, financial operations, media, healthcare and education

## Products

- [Infer8](https://ini8labs.tech/services/inference-gpu-platforms/): Inference platform family: run any model, on any hardware, as a service. Available as Infer8 Blueprint, Infer8 Stack (self-hosted) or Infer8 Cloud (managed).
- [Sovereign Platform](https://ini8labs.tech/services/private-ai-infrastructure/): A security-hardened, 100% open-source private cloud on your own hardware, from bare metal to production in a week; on-premises or air-gapped.
- [AI Control Plane](https://ini8labs.tech/services/private-ai-infrastructure/): Production inference for open models on your own GPUs, inside your perimeter: served, governed and observed on Kubernetes.

## Services

- [Inference & GPU Platforms](https://ini8labs.tech/services/inference-gpu-platforms/): Infer8 is the platform around your models and accelerators: tenancy, routing, metering, billing and day-2 operations.
- [Private AI Infrastructure](https://ini8labs.tech/services/private-ai-infrastructure/): A hardened, 100% open-source private cloud on your hardware, with open models served on your own GPUs.
- [Data Engineering & Analytics](https://ini8labs.tech/services/data-engineering-analytics/): We connect your systems and build the pipelines, lakehouses and warehouses that analytics and AI depend on.
- [Applied AI](https://ini8labs.tech/services/applied-ai/): Knowledge search, AI agents and workflow automation, connected to your documents and tools through retrieval and MCP integrations.
- [AI Readiness Assessment](https://ini8labs.tech/services/ai-readiness-assessment/): Find out what is feasible, what has to change first and where the first budget should go.

## Platform projects

The types of platform we build and run, from air-gapped sites to multi-region clouds.

- [Video surveillance](https://ini8labs.tech/work/air-gapped-video-ai/) (Air-gapped): An air-gapped video AI platform for an a16z-backed security-technology company: live camera streams on shared NVIDIA GPUs, with no internet connection.
- [Decentralised GPU as a service](https://ini8labs.tech/work/decentralised-gpu-cloud/) (Decentralised): A decentralised GPU cloud for a startup: GPUs from independent providers, verified, scheduled and metered as one service.
- [GPU as a service](https://ini8labs.tech/work/gpu-as-a-service/) (On-premises): An on-premises, multi-tenant GPU cloud for a $2B edge-AI company: NVIDIA GPUs shared by many teams through self-service, quotas and metering.
- [Inference as a service](https://ini8labs.tech/work/inference-as-a-service/) (Bare metal): The inference platform behind a commercial AI API, designed, built and operated for an AI API provider serving two of India’s largest consumer-internet apps.
- [Node as a service](https://ini8labs.tech/work/blockchain-node-platform/) (Multi-region): A multi-region node-as-a-service platform for a blockchain company: full, archive and validator nodes across cloud and bare metal.
