basebox

basebox is a secure and self-hosted AI stack designed specifically for organizations that need to process critical or classified data while maintaining full control over their information assets. The platform offers two primary deployment options—cloud and on-premises—each with distinct technical guarantees. In the cloud deployment, basebox runs in GDPR-compliant data centers located exclusively in Germany or the European Union, ensuring that all data processing adheres to strict regional privacy regulations. The system is configured to eliminate server-side prompt logs, meaning no user inputs or model responses are retained by the infrastructure; this zero-retention policy extends to the AI models themselves, which are never trained on customer data. Setup can be completed within minutes, allowing teams to integrate AI capabilities without lengthy infrastructure provisioning. For organizations with more stringent requirements, the on-premises deployment runs entirely inside the customer’s own network, providing complete data sovereignty and physical control over hardware. This mode is designed to handle classified workloads, including those classified as VS‑NfD (information subject to confidentiality), which is common in government, defense, and national security contexts. An optional hybrid configuration permits sensitive workloads to remain on-premises while less critical tasks are routed to the cloud for cost efficiency. basebox also provides a direct comparison with public cloud AI services like Microsoft Copilot, highlighting differences in data location, sovereignty, and governance. Beyond deployment flexibility, basebox supports a range of common AI use cases such as natural language processing, document analysis, code generation, and data extraction—all within
