Xebia Sovereign AI

While 90% of enterprises are experimenting with AI, organizations in highly regulated industries are hitting a wall. They cannot deploy AI at scale without risking sensitive data leaving their jurisdiction or entering black-box managed services. 

Forward-thinking organizations are now building AI capabilities they fully own and control. Xebia helps you move from experimentation to production-ready AI without compromising security, compliance, or control. Our solution is designed for regulatory confidence, operational transparency, and long-term flexibility. 


Why Sovereign AI Matters?

As AI moves from experimentation to business-critical systems, organizations are rethinking how AI is built, deployed, and governed. What worked for early pilots often falls short when AI becomes embedded in core operations. 

Sovereign AI is about choice, transparency, and long-term control, ensuring that your AI capabilities can evolve alongside regulatory requirements, business needs, and technology landscapes. 

Rather than relying solely on fully managed services, many enterprises are adopting a ‘build once, run anywhere’ approach that enables seamless portability across on-premises and cloud environments.

NVIDIA Partnership

Xebia partners with NVIDIA to deliver more than AI compute; we leverage the full NVIDIA AI Enterprise software stack to build sovereign, production-grade AI platforms. By integrating NVIDIA’s advanced software ecosystem directly into our Sovereign AI Platform, we ensure that clients can deploy cutting-edge intelligence while maintaining absolute control. 

We offer the following NVIDIA technologies into the core of our Sovereign AI solution: 

NVIDIA NIM

Serves as the high-performance inference engine of our Sovereign AI platform, enabling deployment of open models (such as Llama 3 or Mistral) anywhere: on-prem or in a private cloud. It provides orchestration and scale for secure, production-grade model inference within your controlled environment.

This enables self-hosted inference that runs entirely within your secure boundary, ensuring enterprise-grade security, lowest-possible latency, and full control over sensitive data without relying on external black-box providers.
