The upstream components Mickai builds on.
Mickai builds a Sovereign Intelligence Operating System on top of commodity silicon, hardened operating systems, and a British manufacturing pipeline. This page credits each upstream component and partner used in the Mickai hardware lineup, names the trademarks involved, and is honest about which partnerships are formal and which are still pending.
Inference fabric
Blackwell Ultra B300 and the GB300 platform on Olympus and Prometheus. RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell on Hermes and Hyperion. RTX 5090 on the entry workstation. Mobile RTX 4060, 4070, 5070, and 5080 on the mini PCs and laptop. NVIDIA, Blackwell, RTX, and CUDA are trademarks of NVIDIA Corporation, used by Mickai for product reference and accreditation. Mickai is not a formal NVIDIA Partner Network partner at the time of writing.
Mickai-designed silicon. Carries the OAR signing primitive in silicon, the hardware identity and the cryptographic root of trust. Sits between the network interface and the GPU fabric so every action that crosses the bus can be policy-checked before commit. In the Mickai patent corpus. Optional on every SKU as the silicon lands.
Substrate operating systems
Mickai SIOS ships on a hardened Linux distribution by default. Ubuntu LTS or Debian Stable underneath, locked down, OAR signing live at boot. The Linux trademark is held by Linus Torvalds and administered by the Linux Foundation. Mickai ships SIOS on Linux under standard distribution licences. Should we wish to ship a product literally named with the Linux mark, we will apply for a Linux Mark sublicence from the Linux Foundation.
Available as a premium option once Mickai is enrolled in the Microsoft OEM System Builder programme. Until then, Mickai workstations ship on hardened Linux by default. Windows is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation.
British manufacturing
Every Mickai SKU is assembled in Britain by our manufacturing partner in Birmingham, England. Pipeline secured for rollout after the Mickai seed round closes. Detailed manufacturing partner attribution will follow once the partnership is formalised for public release.
Open and standards-based primitives
The Open Audit Record signs every action under the FIPS 204 ML-DSA-65 lattice signature scheme, published by NIST in 2024. The choice of a post-quantum primitive is deliberate; audit records produced today will need to be verifiable in twenty years.
The cryptographic identity that signs every action sits in a TPM 2.0 module physically controlled by the operator. There is no cloud key escrow and no vendor recovery mechanism that would allow an external party to countersign on the operator's behalf.
A British stack, not a British shopfront.
Upstream silicon and operating systems can come from anywhere. What makes the stack sovereign is where the assembly, the signing keys, the operating-system substrate, and the audit record actually live. Mickai assembles in Britain, holds the cryptographic identity in a hardware module the operator controls, and signs every action under a post-quantum scheme on the public record. The portfolio behind it runs to 104 filed UK patent applications, approximately 2,340 claims, owned by Mickai LTD, named inventor Micky Irons.
