My Whole AI Stack Went Chinese
You wake up and the whole stack belongs to someone else. The model, the inference engine, the vector DB, all rented from a company across the ocean. It runs fine. The catch is that you control none of it, so the day the terms change or an export rule lands, it’s over. Sovereignty here means keeping your models, data, and infrastructure under your own control instead of someone else’s. Six panels of Paxis and Metis working out what to do.

What this means for ThakiCloud
It’s a joke, but it happens to real teams. You adopted the stack for convenience, and control quietly walked out with it. ThakiCloud is built for exactly this. Train open models on your own GPU cluster with Kubeflow, serve them with vLLM, and keep your data behind your own firewall. On-prem means running the system inside your own facility rather than on someone else’s cloud. Build agents with Paxis, run the platform with Metis, and every layer stays yours. If you would rather not pin your product to someone else’s terms of service, sovereign on-prem AI is the point.
