Vela Anvil turns your Vela Context Data Hub into something you can simply ask. It is software, delivered as two components: the Anvil Gate deploys on your hub and decides what any AI may see - per role, per client - serving scoped retrieval from your live data, knowledge graph, and history, with a complete audit trail. The Anvil Runtime deploys on a GPU node you own and runs European open-weight models that answer questions grounded in your operation, with lineage back to the exact entities, events, and documents behind every answer.

No cloud. No data leaving your network. Air-gap capable. Every prompt policied, every answer logged.

Built on the Vela Context Data Hub and the ETSI NGSI-LD open standard. Designed for manufacturers, utilities, and infrastructure operators that need AI on their operational data without sending a single byte offsite.

AI IS THE HAMMER. VELA ANVIL IS WHAT IT STRIKES ON.

  FROM HUB TO GROUNDED ANSWERS IN THREE WEEKS.

Start with the Sovereign AI Pilot from our Industry Starter Packs: 60 days, one certified GPU node included and yours to keep, two sources, your ten questions answered by your own on-premise AI. €9,900 fixed - fully credited if you convert to Vela Anvil. New to Vela Context entirely? The hub comes first - any Industry Starter Pack gets your data publishing, then Anvil adds the AI.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS?

DO WE HAVE TO BUY HARDWARE FROM YOU? 

No. Anvil is software. Run it on any certified GB10-class node - from your usual IT supplier, or through us if you want a single invoice and one accountable vendor.

WE'RE NOT AI EXPERTS.

You don't need to be. Onboarding includes model deployment, grounding, acceptance testing against questions you define, and operator training. The subscription keeps models and software updated.

ARE WE LOCKED IN?

The opposite, by architecture. The Anvil Gate is the hub's standard AI socket - any AI client can plug into it, including your own. Replace the Anvil Runtime tomorrow; the Gate keeps governing, and your data never moves.

WHY NOT JUST USE A CLOUD AI API?

Because your production data, recipes, and failure history would leave your jurisdiction and your control. For NIS2-scoped operators, that is not a price question. Anvil runs air-gapped if you want it to.

CAN IT TRAIN MODELS ON OUR DATA?

No - and we say so plainly. Anvil is built for inference, retrieval, and knowledge graphs. Grounding a strong European model in your live operational context delivers what most teams imagine training would - without an ML team or model-drift liability.

WHICH MODELS DOES IT RUN?

European open-weight models by default - Mistral (Apache 2.0), EuroLLM / Teuken, Jina embeddings. Any open-weight model on request: it's your hardware.

WHAT HARDWARE DO WE NEED?

One certified GB10-class node per AI node (128 GB unified memory, from ~€4,000). Desk-size, ~240 W, normal office or rack placement.

DOES IT REPLACE OUR DASHBOARDS OR OUR VENDORS' AI?

No. Anvil sits beside your BI, your partners' digital twins, and specialist AI models - all consuming the same governed hub. It answers questions; it doesn't replace applications.
