Your intelligent application is your castle, and your security practices are the moat that protects it. Inside your castle, you must aim for full visibility into what you’re running and why, with freedom to iterate without vendor rate limits or surprise API changes. Your moat creates your security perimeter, ensuring no proprietary data leaves your castle and enforcing best practices including data provenance, cryptographically signed models, evaluation tools, build pipelines and reproducible environments.
Build on your infrastructure, answer to your requirements, scale on your terms.
