Meray AS · Sovereign Edge AI

Server-grade AI intelligence — offline, on the edge.

Folkering OS runs modern AI language models locally on standard x86 hardware — no Linux, no cloud — with an attack surface close to zero.

The problem

Edge AI has outgrown its software. Microcontrollers cannot run modern multi-billion-parameter models. Embedded Linux can — but drags a heavy, general-purpose kernel and a copyleft (GPL) legal risk into proprietary and classified systems. Nothing was built for high-performance, secure, offline AI inference.

Why Folkering OS

Near-zero attack surface

A bare-metal operating system written from scratch in Rust — no Linux, no libc — with memory safety and default-deny networking. The kernel contains no AI code at all: the inference engine is a separate userspace component. An AI that structurally cannot leak.

Truly offline and sovereign

Runs a coherent AI model locally on a modest machine — no cloud required, data never leaves the device. It ships its own from-scratch network stack (wired Ethernet and Wi-Fi) for when a mission needs connectivity — on your terms, gated by a default-deny egress firewall, not a vendor’s.

Bounded, not just fast

Applications and drivers run as WebAssembly on one of two paths, chosen by trust level. Mission-critical code runs fuel-metered: a frame cannot exceed its budget, and trapping is a defined, recoverable state — a property you can verify, not a promise. Large trusted workloads run JIT-compiled, where a per-frame limit would be meaningless.

AI on its own hardware lane

A from-scratch GPU driver gives the AI workload its own hardware channel, separate from the one drawing the screen — verified against the hardware, not assumed. A kernel watchdog detects a compute kernel that never terminates, resets the engine and rebuilds the channel from cold, without human intervention. The desktop kept drawing through it.

Safe for your IP

A clean-room architecture with no Linux code lets you integrate your own proprietary or classified models — with none of the copyleft risk of Linux.

Built for

Defence · maritime autonomy · subsea · critical infrastructure. Systems that must decide locally — GPS-denied, bandwidth-denied and IP-sensitive — where the cloud is not an option.

Status

Working prototype proven on real hardware: a multi-billion-parameter model loaded and generating locally on a standard desktop machine, bit-identical to the reference run. This is a research prototype maturing towards pilot — not a finished product, and we say so on purpose. We are looking for design-partner pilots.
