Public agencies hold data citizens never chose to share. Optimus deploys inside your borders and your buildings, operated by your own administrators — no foreign cloud region, no shared tenancy.
Data-residency mandates aren't satisfied by a region label on someone else's cloud. A sovereign deployment means the state owns the rack, the keys, and the off switch.
02
Rights-impacting AI needs governance you control
Frameworks like OMB M-24-10 require agencies to inventory, assess, and monitor AI that affects the public. That is tractable when the system is one box you administer — not a service that updates under you.
03
Justice and identity data have their own law
CJIS, tax, health, and benefits data each carry access rules that cloud AI vendors were never built around. Local deployment keeps the access model exactly as the statute wrote it.
The pain point — compliance
Citizen data cannot flow into commercial AI services.
For most agencies the real blocker isn't ambition — it's that citizen data can't lawfully or politically flow into commercial AI services. A sovereign appliance turns a multi-year authorization question into an asset purchase inside existing controls.
The regimes in play
Data Residency / Localization
National and state mandates that public data remain in-jurisdiction, under domestic control.
CJIS Security Policy
Strict access, audit, and encryption rules for criminal-justice information — incompatible with opaque vendor pipelines.
OMB M-24-10
Inventory, impact assessment, and human oversight for rights- and safety-impacting AI.
Public Records / Retention
Records acts require knowing where every copy lives — including inside a model's context logs.
What cloud AI puts at stake
Citizen records processed in tenancy you share with unknown parties
Vendor terms that change faster than your authorization process
Audit trails held by a company outside your public-records reach
Sovereignty commitments broken by one misrouted API call
Optimus removes this exposure entirely: no external calls, no subprocessors, no egress — the full AI stack runs inside the controls you already operate.
