Building the DAS Core: a private AI stack in Scotland.

Rather than rent AI from the same few providers as everyone else, we designed and built our own: a private stack of servers, open-weight models, automation and agents that runs our businesses and our clients' work.

128 GBAI inference node memory
70+self-hosted services
24/7agents and workflows

The goal

Own the compute: keep data private, make AI affordable to run continuously, and stay free to adopt the best open models as they're released.

The stack

A dedicated AI inference node with 128 GB of unified memory; a 94 GB application and automation server running 70+ services including n8n, vector databases, self-hosted search, analytics, email marketing and social scheduling; and low-power edge nodes, all connected over a private encrypted network.

Reliability

Model routing keeps fast models resident for real-time tasks while larger models handle deep work; services are monitored with health checks and automatic restarts; and job queues keep batch work from slowing real-time services.

What it shows for clients

We don't just talk about private AI: we run it every day. The same components power our private AI and AI agent services.
