Built on Proven Research

From defence-grade research to deployable innovation—every breakthrough feeds the CastleGuard AI Runtime System.

Why research matters

The CastleGuard AI runtime system is grounded in years of applied work with Canada’s national defence science community. Theoretical breakthroughs weren’t left on paper—they were implemented, hardened, and shipped inside the CastleGuard Runtime so customers get mission-grade capability, not prototypes.

From lab to runtime: what shipped

CastleGuard AI is the result of years of applied AI research with Canada’s national defence science community. Unlike most platforms that adapt off-the-shelf open-source tools, CastleGuard’s core capabilities were co-developed, implemented, and hardened from the ground up for secure, mission-critical environments. 

Multilingual, domain-aware translation

with dynamic acronym injection and rapid dialect fine-tuning — deployed in both French-Canadian and the world’s first Arabic defence-focused language model.

Advanced document understanding

using custom OCR transformers, semantic segmentation, and badge recognition for accurate ingestion of complex files.

Extended-context reasoning & summarization

integrated into our InsightEngine for precise, long-form analysis.

Task-aware tokenization & copy-gen

that preserves critical structured data like URLs, coordinates, and emails during translation.

What makes CastleGuard AI technically different

cg-runtime

  • Unified multi-OS deployment: One installer, mixed Windows + Linux clusters

  • Smart autoscaling & dispatch: Queue-based scaling and predictive routing to minimize latency and GPU waste.

  • One-prompt on-prem LoRA fine-tuning: Create domain experts from your files in hours—no ML team required.

  • Real-time expert fusion: Dynamically blends multiple LoRA experts within a single answer for multi-domain queries.

  • Task-aware tokenization & copy-gen: Preserves rare tokens, URLs, emails and structured strings during translation.

Proof in production

  • Secure-by-design — Air-gapped, classified, and edge-friendly deployments with full audit logging and role-based access control (RBAC).

  • Sovereign workflows — All training, inference, and logs remain on-premises, ensuring zero cloud dependency.

  • Proven at scale — Deployed across mixed hardware environments, from laptops to DGX servers, serving thousands of concurrent users without performance degradation.

  • Operational resilience — Designed for 24/7 uptime in mission-critical environments, with automated failover and recovery mechanisms to maintain service continuity.

Versatile & vendor agnostic

  • Supports any model architecture — Deploy and run LLMs, vision models, or custom AI architectures without being tied to a single vendor or ecosystem.

  • No technology lock-in — Freedom to switch between open-source, proprietary, or internally developed models as requirements evolve.

  • API-first design — A rich set of APIs makes it simple to integrate CastleGuard into existing workflows and connect with other enterprise systems.

  • Built for extensibility — Easily develop and deploy custom AI-powered applications on top of CastleGuard, enabling continuous innovation without rebuilding your infrastructure.
