THE PROBLEM — The most regulated companies are the least able to use AI. Banks, insurers, clinics and law firms cannot send customer data to external AI clouds; even the strongest frontier harnesses (Claude Code, Codex) are banned inside the walls by policy, while local models alone lack the harness to carry a real multi-stage process without breaking it. The gap is architecture, not model weights. THE SOLUTION — Nxcleus turns a plain-language description of an internal process into working, verified software running entirely on infrastructure the customer controls. Nothing crosses the data boundary unless it must: a frontier model plans the build in full detail but with zero specifics — no name, record or identifier ever reaches it — then a local model certifies and rehydrates the plan against the full raw context the frontier never saw, adapting it to the customer's exact systems and schemas. A parallel fleet of specialized local models builds in waves, forging deterministic tools where a script beats a model; adversarial QA attacks the build and an independent numeric oracle re-derives the math. Sovereign Mode removes even the single planning call — zero external calls, enforced in code, with every outbound request logged to a live egress ledger. BUILT ON AMD — Every local token runs on AMD silicon: a dedicated MI300X node (192 GB HBM3, vLLM on ROCm) hosts the trust layer, certifier, coder pool and QA inspectors, with AMD-hosted serverless MI300X capacity for burst. Live rocm-smi telemetry streams into the build cockpit. PROVEN LIVE — A full KYC/AML process was planned, certified, fleet-built, QA'd and registered in one session: $0.54 of frontier, once; $0.009 per applicant thereafter with zero frontier calls at run-time. Adversarial QA caught 138 of 138 deliberately hard planted patterns that no regex or rules engine can see. Live at nxcleus.tech.
