The sovereign AI substrate for buyers who cannot use the cloud.
Mickai® is the UK Sovereign Intelligence Operating System: a hardware-bound, fully offline AI substrate with a post-quantum signed audit ledger, defended by 104 filed UK patent applications. Built and live today, and built for regulated markets. This is the factual briefing: the technology, the proof, and how to arrange a conversation.
Regulated buyers cannot ship data to a hyperscaler
Defence, government, finance and healthcare operate under a regulatory floor that a public-cloud AI API cannot clear. They need intelligence that runs on operator hardware, with an audit chain the operator cryptographically owns.
A sovereign, hardware-bound, audited AI operating system
Mickai runs entirely offline across 50 cooperative brains. Every action is signed at commit under FIPS 204 ML-DSA-65, hash-linked into an Open Audit Record, and replayable in a browser-resident verifier with a no-network invariant.
104 filed UK patents across the substrate
The portfolio spans 13 families and 2,340 claims, filed at the UK Intellectual Property Office and owned by Mickai LTD. The applications are filed and pending; none is yet granted, and we state it exactly that way. The architecture is the differentiator, and the architecture is protected.
Not a pitch. A system you can inspect.
The working audit verifier
A standalone verifier that replays a real signed chain in your browser with no network access. Drop in a chain, check the hash links and the ML-DSA-65 signatures yourself. Proof you can run, not a claim you have to trust.
