What data leaves our machines?
Local execution keeps inference on the machine. A policy-permitted remote destination receives the request sent to it. Hosted Aventail™ Control receives management, device and routing events, not prompt or response bodies. Local execution alone does not determine application storage, analytics or plugin behaviour; review those settings. Read the architecture and usage analytics guidance.
Where can our AI requests run?
On an eligible local device, another approved reachable peer running Aventail™ Link, or on-premises, private-cloud or provider machines running Aventail™ Link. Approved frontier APIs run at their providers, using your own provider accounts. Model support, connectivity, access and your policy determine which destinations are eligible.
Can routing use model and device performance?
Yes. Integration with the inference engine lets Aventail™ Link combine model suitability and performance with device capacity and conditions, query content and organisation policy in a local decision. Constraints restrict eligible destinations before preferences select among them.
Can we deploy with restricted connectivity or fully disconnected?
Yes. Aventail™ Link runs installed, supported models without connectivity, and enterprise Aventail™ Control can run locally. Full-application isolation still requires validation for your environment. Review the deployment options.
Which models and hardware are supported?
Support depends on the runtime version, operating system and architecture, model engine and format, and available resources. Current documentation lists Mac Apple Silicon, Linux x64 and Windows x64 packages; package availability does not mean every model or machine is supported. Read the compatibility guide.
Where are routing policies applied?
Aventail™ Control configures and distributes policies. Aventail™ Link evaluates requests locally and applies restrictions to destinations and fallback paths. Aventail™ Control stays outside the inference request path. Read how Aventail™ works.
Can we use our own models alongside frontier APIs?
Yes. Run supported open-weight models on your own compute and permit external calls through your own provider accounts. The same policy layer governs those choices without requiring an all-cloud or all-local deployment.
What can our security team review?
Review the security and trust overview, including SOC 2 Type II, the DPA, the Privacy Policy and the security documentation alongside your deployment requirements.
Is Aventail™ Link open source?
Aventail™ Link is not currently open source. We intend to open-source it by the end of 2026 and are evaluating the appropriate licence and release approach. Link 1.0 was open source, and we want to bring the current generation to the community too. We will share the scope, licence and contribution process when they are confirmed.
