Martin Technologies LTD — Sovereign Large Language Models

Website: martintech.co.uk
Regions: UK & EU
Focus: Training, deploying, and operating sovereign Large Language Models (LLMs) with full data control, real-time performance, and cost efficiency.

---

Mission

We build and operate sovereign LLMs for organisations that require full ownership, auditability, and control over their AI stack—without compromising on state-of-the-art capability or real-time latency. Our systems are optimised for dedicated hardware to reduce unit economics while delivering predictable performance and strict data boundaries.

---

What “Sovereign” Means Here

• You own the runtime: Dedicated single-tenant deployments (cloud, edge, or on-prem) with no shared inference plane.
• You govern the data: Hard data boundaries, private networking, and explicit opt-in for any data retention. No training on your prompts by default.
• You decide the geography: Compute and storage pinned to the UK or EU with optional air-gapped configurations.
• You can inspect & reproduce: Open model families, transparent configuration, deterministic builds, and reproducible evaluation pipelines.

---

Models & Training

We specialise in state-of-the-art open-source model families and customise them to your domain and latency/throughput constraints:

• Base & Instruct Models: General chat, RAG-optimised instruction models, coding, and tool-use variants.
• Fine-Tuning & Adaptation: Lightweight LoRA/QLoRA, adapters, and full-stack fine-tuning for domain language, terminology, and stylistic constraints.
• Alignment & Safety: Multi-objective RLHF/DPO where required; policy gradients for content filters; evaluation suites aligned with your risk profile.
• Evaluation: Task-specific evals (exact-match, BLEU/ROUGE, factuality, hallucination risk, tool-use success), latency SLOs, and cost/quality Pareto frontiers.

We prioritise openly auditable model families to preserve portability and long-term independence.

Real-Time Optimisation on Dedicated Hardware

Our inference stacks are engineered for low-latency, cost-efficient operation:

• Kernel-level acceleration: FlashAttention-class attention kernels, fused ops, paged KV cache, and continuous batching.
• Quantisation: INT8/INT4 & mixed-precision pipelines tuned per layer to balance perplexity vs. latency.
• Parallelism strategies: Tensor, pipeline, and context parallelism with NUMA-aware placement.
• Speculative & constrained decoding: Speculative decoding, prefix caches, grammar-constrained decoding for structured outputs (JSON/SQL).
• Memory topology: KV cache pinning, CPU-GPU offload, NVLink/PCIe bandwidth planning, and pinned host memory for surge loads.

Outcome: predictable p50/p95 latency under load, reduced cost per million tokens, and stable throughput on dedicated single-tenant hardware.

Deployment Options

1) Managed Cloud (UK/EU)

• Single-tenant VPC deployments in the UK or EU, private subnets, customer-managed keys (CMK) optional.
• Hard residency guarantees and private endpoint exposure (PrivateLink/private service connect).

2) Physical Edge Compute

• Ruggedised nodes for branch, factory, vessel, or field environments.
• Store-and-forward telemetry, offline-first inference, and sync when connectivity returns.

3) On-Premises (Air-Gap Optional)

• Delivered as appliance or reference build (rack spec + BOM).
• Offline provisioning, no outbound network requirement, and fully local observability.

---

Access Patterns

• API Access: OpenAI-compatible endpoints for chat/completions, embeddings, tool calls, and JSON-mode.
• gRPC & SSE: Streaming tokens for real-time UX; back-pressure aware.
• RAG Tooling: Connectors for document stores, vector DBs, and safety classifiers.
• Multi-Tenant at Your Edge: You define tenants; we enforce strict isolation per tenant within your sovereign boundary.

cURL

curl -X POST "$BASE_URL/v1/chat/completions"   -H "Authorization: Bearer $MARTINTECH_API_KEY"   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   -d '{
    "model": "martintech/sovereign-llm",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Summarise our latest policy in 5 bullets."}],
    "temperature": 0.2,
    "stream": true
  }'

Python

import os, requests, sseclient

BASE_URL = os.getenv("BASE_URL", "https://api.your_instance_url.co.uk")
API_KEY  = os.getenv("MARTINTECH_API_KEY")

payload = {
    "model": "martintech/sovereign-llm",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Draft a GDPR-compliant notice."}],
    "temperature": 0.0,
    "stream": True
}
headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}", "Content-Type": "application/json"}

with requests.post(f"{BASE_URL}/v1/chat/completions", json=payload, headers=headers, stream=True) as r:
    client = sseclient.SSEClient(r)
    for event in client.events():
        print(event.data)

JavaScript (Fetch)

const res = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/v1/chat/completions`, {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${API_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    model: "martintech/sovereign-llm",
    messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Generate a JSON receipt." }],
    response_format: { type: "json_object" }
  })
});
const data = await res.json();
console.log(data.choices[0].message.content);

The API is OpenAI-compatible, so most existing SDKs and clients work with only a base URL and key change.

Security & Compliance

• Data Handling: No prompt or completion retention unless explicitly enabled. Configurable TTLs and redaction.
• Encryption: TLS in transit; at-rest encryption with customer-managed keys optional.
• Network: Private networking, IP allow-lists, and optional mTLS between services.
• Isolation: Per-tenant logical isolation; dedicated hardware optional for physical isolation.
• Observability: Privacy-preserving logs and metrics; structured audit events with redaction.
• Governance: DPA addendum, data residency controls (UK/EU), and support for customer risk assessments.

---

Cost Optimisation

• Right-sized model families per use case (tiny → large) with policy-based model routing.
• Quantisation and continuous batching to reduce cost per million tokens.
• Cache-aware RAG to minimise context length and I/O.
• Performance budgets and autoscaling tied to your SLOs rather than best-effort throughput.

---

Typical Use Cases

• Private Assistants for regulated teams (legal, finance, public sector).
• RAG over Sensitive Corpora with strict data residency.
• Structured Generation (JSON/SQL) into downstream systems.
• Edge Autonomy for low-connectivity scenarios (manufacturing, maritime, defence).
• Developer Copilots confined to internal codebases.

---

Hugging Face Integration

• Org Repos: Model cards, adapters, and eval reports published under our Hugging Face organisation for transparent provenance.
• Spaces & Demos: Private Spaces for stakeholder testing; gated access with audit logs.
• Artifacts: Tokenisers, prompt templates, and guardrail grammars for reproducible pipelines.

Ask us about publishing redacted eval sets and prompt grammars alongside each model variant.

Getting Started

1. Choose a deployment: UK/EU managed cloud, edge appliance, or on-prem.
2. Select a model class: General chat, code, RAG-optimised, or constrained-output.
3. Provide domain data (optional): We prepare adapters or full fine-tunes with strict handling.
4. Integrate the API: Swap your base URL and key; keep your existing SDKs.
5. Validate: Review eval dashboards, latency/cost reports, and guardrail policies.
