CZAR FORGE

Coding agents on your own repositories, models tuned and evaluated on your own code and data, and the agents around them, on one sealed appliance inside your perimeter. For technology and AI teams only.

An engineering floor at night: developers at multi-monitor desks, a whiteboard of diagrams, and one sealed appliance in a cabinet against the end wall, lit amber.

POSTURE
No route out, or only the systems the team declares
BOUGHT
One subscription for one configured appliance

WHAT A TEAM GETS

The whole build loop, on one node the team holds.

Code in, a tuned model, a scored result, an agent that proposes the change. None of it leaves the building to happen.

Coding agents on your own repositories

Agents read, write, and test code against repositories that never leave the building. They open the change; they do not merge it.

The repository index

Code, design notes, tickets, and runbooks questioned in place, with the passage the answer came from.

Models tuned on your code and data

Open-weight models adapted to the team's own repositories and conventions, on the appliance. The adapter stays inside.

Evaluation before anything is promoted

A harness on the appliance scores models, prompts, and agents against the team's own test sets and past resolved work.

Serving for your own applications

Internal tools and products call the models on the Forge over the team's network, with no vendor in the path.

The team's agents in Agency Studio

Review, build-and-test triage, incident diagnostics, release notes: bounded, approved, versioned, and replayable.

WHO IT IS FOR

Built for the teams that build.

Czar Forge is Czar configured for the people who write software and build models: engineering, platform, data, and machine-learning teams. Every other kind of team gets the same appliance configured for its own work, as Czar.

WHO
Technology and AI teams only: software engineering, platform, data, and machine-learning teams. Every other team runs on Czar.
WHAT IT IS
Czar, configured for that kind of team. The same sealed appliance, loaded for code, models, and the agents around them.
HOW IT IS BOUGHT
The same subscription as any Czar, for one configured appliance: hardware, platform license, and sustainment in one line, fixed for the term.
LATER
When the team outgrows one Forge, more Czars join it as a Grid. Nothing is rewritten.

THE BOUNDARY

An agent proposes. A named engineer merges.

Agents on a Czar prepare and propose; a named person approves. Nothing client-facing, customer-facing or production-changing leaves the appliance without that approval, and every step of it is on a record the team holds.

PROPOSE

An agent opens the change

The diff, the tests, the run, and the evidence, assembled on the appliance and held in a queue.

APPROVE

A named engineer merges

Merge, promote, or release is a person's action, written beside the change with the approver's name.

ROLL BACK

Every version is kept

Agents, prompts, adapters, and the record are versioned. Any run can be replayed; any version can be restored.

INSIDE THE PERIMETER

The source, the models, and the record stay where the team is.

SOVEREIGN

No route out

The Forge runs with no connection at all. Updates arrive as signed bundles the team carries in.

DECLARED

Only the systems the team names

Source control, build and test, ticketing, the log and artifact stores: declared one by one at commissioning. Local Bridge denies the rest.

KEPT

The material stays

Source, datasets, adapters, evaluations, and the record of every run stay on the appliance the team holds.

THE SAME APPLIANCE

Czar, Czar Grid, Czar Keep, Czar Chassis.

Czar Forge is Czar for one kind of team. Czar Grid is several Czars joined into one pool for a facility. Czar Keep is that Grid in one chassis, for the data center. Czar Chassis is the Grid shipped by a vendor under its own name. All of them are this appliance.

  • Substrate is what the Forge runs: Inference, Retrieval, Memory, Adaptation, Evaluation, Watchman, and Local Bridge.
  • Agency Studio is where the team authors, bounds, approves, and records its agents.
  • E31 Consulting builds the first agents and the evaluation set with your team, on your Forge.
