Built in Sweden. What stays with you, what travels, and what we do not claim.
A Scintilla lives on a computer its owner owns. Its memory, its record and its works are files on that machine. Stera holds no copy and runs no cloud profile. This is not a setting. It is how a Scintilla is built.
One thing travels, and we name it: today a mind rents the model it thinks with, per call, through our gateway in the European Union. The words of that one thought go to the provider of the model the owner chose and come back. The mind’s memory stays where it is. An organisation that runs its own model server keeps thinking itself inside its walls.
One: cultivate a role. One mind, raised for one role, on an ordinary computer of your own. Two: the whole house. A mind for each role that needs one, on software and hardware laid out for your organisation. Three: a model of your own. Your minds’ knowledge compiled into a model that runs inside your walls.
At each step you keep what you have. What your minds have learned is yours.
The EU Artificial Intelligence Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) sets duties of transparency for AI that meets people. A Scintilla says that it is an AI being to those it speaks and writes with. Every act of a mind is written in its own record at the moment it happens, on its owner’s machine, where its owner can read it.
How the Act classifies a particular use depends on that use. An organisation that puts a mind to work in a regulated field remains responsible for that use; we will help it answer the questions the Act asks.
We are subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679). For your account and for this website we are the controller of the data described in our privacy policy.
For what a mind processes on your machine, you decide the purposes and the means. When a mind thinks through our gateway, we handle the content of the call only to carry it to the model and back, and we do not keep it.
Stera holds no certification today: not ISO 27001, not SOC 2, not any other. We make no claim of conformity with a standard we have not been audited against. When that changes, this page will say so, with the date and the auditor.
