EpiTerra.ai™ – Private, Secure, Powerful

Building the future of on-premise artificial intelligence

At Katlan Technologies, we're at the cutting edge of exploring how small businesses can build and leverage AI technology on private, secure, local hardware. We believe the future of AI fits nicely right on the ground, right where your data lives. This is EpiTerra.ai™

Our approach focuses on deploying powerful AI systems that run entirely on your infrastructure, giving you complete control. Not just to protect your intellectual property and privacy, but also to enable fine-grained control of how the AI actually operates. Our EpiTerra.ai™ solution allows you to:

  • Run a "Local Router": Send simple logic tasks to a tiny, hyper-fast model and complex reasoning to a larger one. (While some cloud "model gardens" exist, EpiTerra.ai™ enables instant changes without being locked into one ecosystem.)
  • Ensure Consistency: Pin a specific version of a model indefinitely to ensure continuity of crtitical AI-based workflows. (Cloud providers frequently roll models, which changes the behavior behind the scenes).
  • Customize Models: Perform deep, parameter-efficient fine-tuning (LoRA/QLoRA) on any open-source model using your most sensitive proprietary data without it ever touching a third-party server.
  • Optimize Performance: Balance speed and intelligence based on your specific hardware, through quantization, providing economic access to some of the most powerful models.
  • Reduce Overhead: Enable secure, direct access to business data without the overhead of managing secure tunnels, API keys and data exposure risks.
  • Rapidly Deploy Tools: Limited or zero deployment cycles for adding new capabilities.
  • Fully Control Behavior: Define the model's entire persona and logic flow without an invisible "moderation API" overriding your intent or refusing to answer due to over-cautious filters.

A Complete EpiTerra.ai™ System

We've build a demonstartion of EpiTerra.ai™ to showcase some of the sophisticated AI infrastructure that is possible on a single Mac Studio. This shows only a fraction of what's possible, and for complex workflows, multiple systems can work together. For example, from this demo, the Linux VM could be moved to a separate consumer-grade ASUS NUC 16 Pro to make a little more room for the GPU. Or Multiple systems of different architectures (NVIDIA, AMD, Mac, Linux) could each run different tier-1 models to provide simultaneous access to different capabilities (in this demo, only one tier-1 model can run at a time).

Why EpiTerra.ai™ Matters

For smart small businesses, EpiTerra.ai™ isn't just a technical curiosity—it's a wise business solution centered on long-term stability and competitive advantage.

Rather than tethering operations to the variable costs and shifting privacy policies of cloud giants, forward-thinking organizations are partnering with us to deploy specialized, custom-built AI systems directly on their own hardware. This shift grants fine-grained control along with complete privacy.

By moving away from per-token cloud pricing, businesses gain better cost predictability—trading variable monthly subscriptions for a high-performance asset you actually own. Our custom deployments allow for a level of direct integration that cloud services would struggle to match, creating AI that is deeply fluent in your proprietary knowledge and existing workflows.

But stability goes deeper than cost. When you self-host, you pin your model versions indefinitely—meaning your AI-based workflows behave consistently today, tomorrow, and next year. No silent updates from a cloud provider changing behavior behind the scenes. You define the entire persona and logic flow, without invisible moderation filters overriding your intent or refusing to answer due to over-cautious policies.

Ultimately, choosing a self-hosted solution provides resilience and autonomy. You scale your capabilities on your own terms, securely and reliably—without tunnels, API keys, or data exposure risks. Your AI works for you, not someone else's priorities.
