Private AI, properly engineered.

Lucrion designs and operates on-premise AI infrastructure for European organisations that need performance, privacy, and control, without the public-cloud bill or the data-sovereignty risk.

What makes Lucrion defensible

A five-way intersection few providers occupy.

Plenty of firms do one of these. Lucrion is built where all five meet, and that intersection is where on-premise AI becomes genuinely worth owning.

  • The air-gap

    Systems that can run with no external network path. Inference, weights, and logs never leave the perimeter you control.

  • Austrian domiciliation + EU AI Act fluency

    An EU-domiciled engagement that designs around the AI Act, GDPR, DORA, and NIS2 from the first architecture sketch, not retrofitted later.

  • Mid-market pricing

    Engagements scoped between €35k and €120k. Serious on-premise capability without hyperscaler-tier consulting fees.

  • Operations continuity

    We hand over a system your team owns, with runbooks, monitoring, and a clear backup-and-restore path. No lock-in to keep it running.

  • Open-source, open-weights

    Built on open infrastructure and open-weights models: vLLM, Qdrant, Keycloak, Linux. No proprietary black boxes, no vendor lock-in.

Where to start

Three concrete ways to begin.

Most engagements start with an assessment, then a first production system. Indicative price bands and durations are published up front, with no discovery call required to learn them.

Readiness Assessment

Indicative price
€12k – €18k fixed
Duration
3 – 4 weeks

A fixed-scope engagement to decide whether on-premise AI makes sense for you: reference architecture, hardware BoM, compliance map, and a 3-year TCO against public-cloud LLMs.

  • Use-case matrix + data inventory
  • Hardware BoM with three price points
  • Go / no-go recommendation

Private AI Starter

Indicative price
€35k – €70k + hardware
Duration
6 – 10 weeks

One hardened on-premise GPU server with identity, ingress, an open-weights LLM served via vLLM or SGLang, an internal chat UI, monitoring, backup, and a one-day training session.

  • Open-weights LLM on your hardware
  • Identity, monitoring, and backup
  • Witnessed restore + runbook handover

Enterprise RAG

Indicative price
€45k – €120k fixed
Duration
8 – 14 weeks

Retrieval-augmented generation over your private documents, with access control, citation enforcement, audit logging, and a measured precision benchmark agreed up front.

  • Citations enforced on every answer
  • Access control + audit logging
  • ≥80% precision on an agreed benchmark

Why private

Why private AI infrastructure
is no longer optional.

Data Sovereignty

Control is not a feature. It's the foundation.

Every inference, every model weight, every log stays inside your perimeter. No shared cloud, no third-party processing, no data-residency uncertainty.

Compliance-aware

Designed around the regulations you answer to.

GDPR, the EU AI Act, DORA, and NIS2, designed for from day one, with audit trails and access controls at every layer. We document the posture; we do not claim certifications we do not hold.

Performance

No shared resources. No throttling.

On-premise GPU clusters deliver predictable, deterministic response times, with no shared compute contention and no unexplained cloud throttling.

How we work

From requirements to production infrastructure.

  1. Discover
  2. Design
  3. Deploy
  4. Operate

Reference deployment

The rig that proved the playbook.

Our first reference deployment runs a financial-grade workload, portfolio analytics for an associated venture, on a hardened on-premise rig: FreeIPA and Keycloak identity, HAProxy/Keepalived high availability, NetBox inventory, MLflow, NVIDIA GPU with DCGM monitoring, ZFS on TrueNAS, and encrypted offsite backup. It is engineered to financial-grade standards, and it is where the Lucrion playbook was first proven end to end.

It is a reference deployment running an associated venture's workload, not a customer reference. We frame it honestly because the engineering is what matters.

Trust & compliance

Built for environments where
trust has to be earned in the design.

Air-Gap Capable

Systems designed to operate with no external network access, fully isolated from the public internet.

Encryption In Transit & At Rest

Data encrypted across the stack: storage volumes, inference endpoints, and model weights.

Identity At Every Boundary

Keycloak and FreeIPA identity with authentication and authorization between services. No implicit trust.

Audit-By-Design

Audit logging and access records built in from the architecture phase, designed for EU regulated review.

Get Started

Your data. Your infrastructure. Your control.

Start with a Readiness Assessment, a fixed-scope engagement to decide whether on-premise AI makes sense for your organisation, before any hardware is procured.
