A workstation designed for those who refuse to entrust their most valuable information to someone else's infrastructure.
The problem
Every request sent to a public AI service leaves your building, travels through servers you don't control, and settles permanently into infrastructure owned by someone else. For a law firm, a family office, or a board of directors, this dependency isn't a technical detail. It's a strategic risk.
Your confidential documents pass through third-party servers, subject to foreign jurisdictions and terms of use that change without your consent.
You rent access to an intelligence you never own. The dependency becomes permanent, and the price, a variable outside your control.
Your most sensitive exchanges become, often without your full knowledge, raw material for training third-party models.
A SARION Appliance eliminates this dependency. The station operates entirely within your walls.
The Volta Sovereign AI philosophy
A SARION Appliance runs entirely on-site, on hardware you own, with artificial intelligence that belongs only to you. Every component was chosen for its reliability, longevity, and ability to run continuously, without interruption, without telemetry, without external dependency.
Common questions
Three tiers. SARION Confidant, from €75,000, can be ordered directly online. SARION Regent, from €200,000, and SARION Sovereign, from €500,000, begin with a direct conversation with the founding team. No discounts or promotional offers on any tier.
Approximately six months from order to installation, driven primarily by current component lead times. Component pricing and delivery timelines are both subject to ongoing volatility in the global semiconductor and memory markets, later orders may take longer and cost more than earlier ones.
A 3-year hardware and labor warranty, 3 years of direct support with no intermediary, ongoing AI model and software updates, on-site installation by the founding team, full ownership of the hardware and the AI running on it, and no telemetry or third-party data transmission.
AMD Threadripper PRO 7975WX (32 cores / 64 threads), 768GB DDR5 ECC RAM, two NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q GPUs (192GB VRAM combined), mirrored NVMe storage in software RAID 1, an enterprise 25GbE network card, and a 1600W Titanium power supply.
No. A SARION Appliance runs entirely on-premise, on hardware you physically own. No cloud dependency, no subscription, no third-party access.

What's inside
Every part is enterprise-class, selected for the continuous compute load of a local artificial intelligence, not for consumer use repurposed beyond its design.
No consumer-grade components. No shortcuts.
Where it lives
An executive office. A notarial practice. A family office headquarters. A SARION Appliance integrates into the most demanding work environment without ever imposing its presence.
A permanent presence
No network latency, no dependency on an internet connection to function, no risk that a third-party service changes its terms overnight. The machine runs, here, for as long as you need it.
The founder
Alexandre Ouaknine has spent his career at the intersection of high technology and confidentiality: co-founder of DC3, the U.S. Department of Defense's cybercrime center, critical infrastructure for Fortune 500 companies, technical leadership in the online gaming industry in Malta. Since 2023, he has devoted this expertise to sovereign artificial intelligence architecture, with one simple conviction: the most powerful AI only has value if it remains entirely yours.
What's included
Three years, hardware and labor.
Three years of direct assistance, no intermediary.
AI models and software maintained over time.
On-site installation handled by the founding team.
The hardware and the intelligence belong to you, entirely.
No telemetry, no data transmitted to a third party.
New Capabilities
We keep adding capabilities to SARION, including a powerful alternate model for complex reasoning, a new assessment engine, and much more to empower your sovereign artificial intelligence.
Acquisition
Every tier is a fully owned appliance, on your premises, with no cloud dependency and no subscription. No discounts, no promotional offers. The value lies in sovereignty, confidentiality, and long-term independence, not in an entry price.
A bilingual conversational companion. Chat, voice, and push-to-talk, with web search and document analysis for brainstorming and summarizing. For a single owner, up to two concurrent users.
Discover ConfidantA personal AI with agentic reach: email, calendar, task management, and additional tools scoped to your needs. A relationship, not a fixed feature list.
Discover RegentFull sovereignty. Everything in Regent, at dual-node scale, with text-to-image and text-to-video generation and our most capable model.
Discover SovereignDelivery currently takes approximately six months, driven primarily by component lead times. Component pricing and delivery timelines are both subject to ongoing volatility in the global semiconductor and memory markets — later orders may carry longer lead times and higher prices than earlier ones.
Currencies other than the euro can be accepted on request. Contact us to discuss.
Agnostic Infrastructure
Commission a bespoke, high-performance AI architecture featuring SARION’s exclusive capability matrix and Mini JEV engine. Engineered for your proprietary data and deployed across your preferred infrastructure.
We decouple our proprietary intelligence stack from our physical appliances, offering high-tier clients a fully customized, white-glove engineering service to deploy our intelligence layer on their private servers or cloud APIs.
Worth raising with your advisor
A cloud AI subscription is typically booked as a recurring operating charge, with nothing left on the balance sheet once paid. A SARION Appliance is physical, owned hardware for many buyers, that changes how the acquisition is categorized for accounting and tax purposes.
Capital equipment like a SARION Appliance is generally depreciated over its useful life rather than expensed all at once in many jurisdictions, a portion of the acquisition reduces taxable profit each year over that period rather than in a single year.
Some jurisdictions offer additional incentives for capital investment in technology or infrastructure, which may apply on top of standard depreciation depending on where and how your company is structured.
A group or holding structure can change how an acquisition like this interacts with overall taxable profit and asset allocation across entities, this is highly structure-specific and worth a direct conversation with your tax advisor.
This is general information, not tax, legal, or accounting advice. Treatment depends on your specific structure, jurisdiction, and circumstances. Contact us and we can describe exactly what's being acquired, so your own accountant or tax advisor has what they need to assess your situation.
