Defense and intelligence agencies operate under constraints that commercial inference engines were never designed to meet: air-gapped networks, multi-level security, supply-chain verification of every binary and model weight, and hardware diversity mandates that prohibit single-vendor lock-in. Prometheus is built for these requirements from the silicon up.
A single 50MB Rust binary with zero Python, zero pickle deserialization, and zero memory-unsafe attack surface. Supply-chain weight verification before model loading. Encrypted models at rest. TLS 1.3 everywhere. Air-gapped operation with offline model synchronization. 26 hardware targets including FPGA for sub-5-microsecond deterministic inference — deploy on whatever the mission requires, with no vendor lock-in.
