Reference architectures


Complete envelopes, not GPU shopping lists.

Each class joins model memory, users, storage, identity, backup, power, cooling, service access and the acceptance test required before sign-off.

01 · PROOF

Compact Proof Node

Single-user or bounded team proof on a sanitised corpus.

Good for
feasibility, citations, refusal and archive-quality discovery
Not for
unproven critical production or large concurrent load
Acceptance
quality contract and explicit stop/expand decision
02 · PROFESSIONAL

Professional Node

Serious local production for a small team.

Envelope
professional accelerator or validated coherent-memory station
Site
desk, technical room or short rack; acoustics and service path recorded
Acceptance
concurrency, latency, restore and role tests
03 · VAULT

Private AI Vault

Multi-user confidential archive with redundant storage and controlled operation.

Controls
identity integration, matter separation, audit export, backup and recovery
Risk
index growth, concurrency and component lead time
Acceptance
failure drill plus full archive benchmark contract
04 · CELL

Regulated AI Cell

Segregated production with higher assurance and development/production separation.

Controls
SIEM export, controlled administration and signed change evidence
Site
enterprise power, cooling, serviceability and fault domains
Acceptance
independent control owner and phased stop/go gates
05 · THERMAL

Heat-Recovery Cell

Sustained liquid-cooled compute with an engineered heat interface.

ANULUM scope
IT load, temperature, telemetry and failure boundary
Partner scope
licensed HVAC design, permitting and building integration
Acceptance
measured load profile; no universal savings claim
06 · RACK

Sovereign Rack

Facility-scale private AI programme with phased procurement and operations. Kimi K3 is now an eligible evaluation candidate, not a pre-approved production baseline.

Envelope
validated OEM fabric, storage, network, power and operating team; official K3 guidance begins at eight current data-centre accelerators
Risk
facility dependency, licence terms, engine maturity, support coverage and supplier exit
Acceptance
exact K3 workload, context, tool and failure tests plus a client-owned continuity pack

No architecture above is a quotation. Model fit, availability, warranty, prices and service terms require a current Swiss RFQ and an exact benchmark contract.
