About

8peaks (Antwerp, Belgium)

Tagline: "Your AI. Your Data. Your Rules."

1. Mission & Vision

  • Vision: To democratize "Sovereign Intelligence," ensuring European enterprises and public institutions can harness Generative AI without compromising data ownership, privacy, or security.

  • Mission: To provide the "Engine" for the AI era—bridging the gap between open-source innovation (Llama 3, Mistral) and enterprise-grade compliance (EU AI Act, GDPR) via secure, on-premise infrastructure.

2. Core Product: The KennisAI Platform

A unified "Sovereign AI Operating System" that runs entirely within the client's perimeter (On-Premise or Private Cloud).

  • Connect: Ingests data from 100+ sources (SQL, IoT, Documents) without egress.

  • Orchestrate: Visual "Flow Canvas" for building complex AI agents.

  • Govern: Built-in Zero Trust security, PII redaction, and audit trails.

  • Deploy: One-click deployment of agents to production APIs.

3. Key Features (The "Sovereign Stack")

  • Sovereign Intelligence Engine: Runs open-weights models (Llama 3, Falcon, EuroLLM) locally. Air-gapped capable for Defense/Healthcare. Native Fine-Tuning (LoRA) on private IP.

  • Agentic AutoML ("The Trinity"): A 3-Agent system (Architect, Strategist, Engineer) that autonomously cleans data, selects metrics, and trains ML models (XGBoost/SHAP) in a secure sandbox.

  • Zero Trust MCP Gateway: A proprietary governance layer for the Model Context Protocol. It intercepts, authenticates, and sanitizes every tool call (e.g., stopping an agent from executing DROP TABLE on a database).

Sovereign AI, On-Premise LLM, Zero Trust AI, Agentic AutoML, EU AI Act Compliance, Model Context Protocol (MCP), Edge AI, Data Sovereignty, GDPR-Compliant, Digital Twin.
