Private AI deployment

Run enterprise AI where your data and operations require it

Pūnaha can run on customer-controlled infrastructure or in Pūnaha Cloud. Connect supported local and external models so deployment and model choices reflect the work, risk and environment.

Deployment choice

One product, two operating approaches

Choose the approach that fits the organisation rather than reshaping every requirement around a cloud-only service.

Customer-managed

Deploy Pūnaha in an environment controlled by the customer, with the surrounding infrastructure and operations agreed for that implementation.

Pūnaha Cloud

Use a Pūnaha-managed cloud option when that operating model is a better fit.

Windows and Linux

The application supports Windows and Linux environments, subject to the implementation architecture.

Model choice

Use the model that fits each task

A model deployment is configured separately from the workflow that uses it, which makes the relationship easier to change and govern.

Local GGUF models

Run supported GGUF models locally through llama.cpp for tasks intended to stay within the local environment.

OpenAI and compatible APIs

Connect OpenAI or a supported OpenAI-compatible endpoint when that service fits the use case.

Azure OpenAI

Configure Azure OpenAI deployments as an external model option.

Anthropic

Use supported Anthropic models for selected workflow steps.

Google Gemini

Connect supported Gemini models where their capabilities and service terms fit.

Provider-neutral configuration

Refer to configured model deployments from workflows rather than embedding one provider into every process.

Clear boundaries

Private AI still needs deliberate architecture

Deployment location is one part of privacy and control, not a substitute for them.

Source permissions, network paths, model endpoints, operational access and retention choices all shape the resulting control boundary.

Pūnaha provides deployment and model options. Each implementation still needs an agreed architecture and security review that reflects the organisation's requirements.

Data path

Understand which sources, services and models can receive content at each step.

Operational ownership

Decide who runs, monitors and changes the deployment.

Human oversight

Add approval where automated continuation is not appropriate.

Private AI deployment questions

Does Pūnaha have to run in Pūnaha Cloud?

No. Pūnaha can run on customer-controlled infrastructure or in Pūnaha Cloud. The appropriate option depends on the customer's environment and operating requirements.

Can Pūnaha use a local AI model?

Yes. Pūnaha supports local GGUF model execution through llama.cpp as well as supported external model providers.

Can one workflow use more than one AI provider?

Yes. Different workflow steps can refer to different configured model deployments when the process calls for it.

Is Pūnaha described as air-gapped?

No broad air-gap claim is made on this site. A customer-managed implementation can use local models, but the complete architecture must be reviewed for the specific environment.
