accompio: Partnership between Kern AI and Edgeless Systems

“With Edgeless Systems, we are taking our knowledge management to the highest security level on the market. This enables insurers, banks or authorities to answer complex questions in seconds without disclosing sensitive documents,” explains Johannes Hötter (CEO & Co Founder, Kern AI).

Why this partnership is a game changer:

• Cybersecurity first – Privatemode AI uses confidential computing hardware (AMD SEV SNP and NVIDIA Hopper GPUs) and keeps data verifiably encrypted end-to-end, even in memory during processing. This completely excludes cloud, model and service providers from accessing data. No user data can be used to train models either.
• In-depth expertise – Kern AI models business knowledge using a “data centric RAG” approach and measurably reduces hallucinations of LLMs. The system has been proven to deliver up to 70% faster and more consistent answers in customer support, equivalent to the quality of human 2nd level support.
• Using open source models with confidence – At launch, Meta Llama 3.3 70B and Gemma 3-27B are running in the protected environment; leading open source models such as gpt-oss-120B are continuously evaluated and integrated.
• Compliance ready – Kern AI is ISO 27001 certified, works with external data protection officers and supports client  and role concepts – to ensure that answers are only given to authorized persons.

“Kern AI delivers the best data modeling for LLM applications, we deliver the most demonstrably secure execution environment. Together, we are finally making generative AI enterprise  and regulation-ready,” says Dr. Felix Schuster (CEO & Co Founder, Edgeless Systems).
