FrameworkFramework: the five properties of a sovereign AI stack
A checklist a CIO can verify, not a slogan. Each chapter of this book maps back to one of these five properties; Appendix A turns them into a maturity model and Appendix B into a scored assessment.
You own the code. The complete source of the platform, backend and infrastructure included, under a perpetual license. You can read it, audit it, modify it, and run it after the vendor is gone.
You own the data, in place. Agents reach systems of record where they live, through connectors and a broker you control. Nothing is copied into a vendor's index, and nothing leaves your perimeter that you did not route out deliberately.
You choose the model, and can change it. Every model is a setting, not a dependency. Commercial APIs, open-weight models on your own GPUs, or both, routed by cost, latency, capability and data classification, switchable without touching an integration.
Your clients share one identity. Web, browser extension, desktop, mobile and terminal are one backend and one sign-in. User-scoped tokens live with the user; the organization's credential lives only on the server. New applications are built without anyone handling a secret.
Your agents run inside a harness you can inspect. The loop that reads, decides and acts is yours to read, with memory scopes, approval modes, step and token budgets, a sandbox with a network boundary, a stop button, and an audit line for every action.
Run the stack this book describes
ibl.ai is the agent operating system you run yourself: you own all the code and the data, in your cloud, on-premise or air-gapped, with any model, one identity across web, browser, desktop, mobile and terminal, and no per-seat pricing.
