Sovereign Edge AI

Intelligence you own, where it runs.

BENTO covers the whole path for secure edge AI. With it you train on your own site and install models into running devices from a browser, while raw data stays where it was made. The same control holds for one device and for a whole enterprise.

Why now

AI is moving into the things around us.

Microcontrollers now carry neural processors; Infineon's PSOC™ Edge E84, for example, pairs an Arm® Cortex®-M55 with an Ethos™-U55 NPU. Regulation now asks device makers to account for the software they ship. The tools for building, delivering and governing AI on these devices have not kept up.

Sovereignty at the edge

Sovereignty that starts at the device.

Most sovereign-AI programmes focus on data centres. Ours begins with the device itself and keeps the data, the model and the decision with their owner.

Data stays where it is made

Inference runs on the device and training on your own server. Raw data stays on site, and only results travel, as Highlights. Data residency is a property of the design, so it does not depend on a contract clause.

Models you own, trained on your own data

Train on your own sounds, machines, rooms and languages. Every model still has to pass quality gates that cannot be waived silently.

Independent of any one cloud

Models run offline on the chip's own NPU, so there is no per-inference cloud bill and no API key at runtime. Installs come from a browser.

Built to be audited

Models are signed and sealed to one board on the BENTO HMI Kit, every install is tied to its board, and every model passes its gates before release. Designed to support the duties of the EU Cyber Resilience Act.

Sovereignty here means control of data, models and deployment. The silicon and toolchains, from Infineon and Arm, come from a global supply chain, as they do for everyone.

Installs like a song

Models are songs. Scenes are playlists.

Choose a model in the Store and it installs into the running firmware from your browser, without a reflash. Put several together into a scene for a room or a production line, much as you would make a playlist.

  • Today

    A model installs from the browser into the running firmware, with no reflash.

  • Today

    Several models make up a scene for one room or one line, like a playlist you put together yourself.

  • Today

    The board reports what it can run, and the Store explains why when a model cannot.

How value is exchanged

How BENTO is licensed.

Like silicon IP, BENTO is licensed where it runs, per device and per model, with prices in US dollars. Enterprise and Sovereign deployments are set by agreement.

Individuals, educators, makers

Creator

The BENTO IDE with Flow, Blocks, Python and the emulator. Models from the Store installed on your own board, each licensed to that board.

Product teams, integrators

Studio

Everything in Creator, plus scenes (playlists of several models) across the boards your team manages.

Manufacturers, operators

Enterprise

The Edge AI Trainer on your own site, so raw data stays there. Installs across your fleet, Highlights, and custom models and scenes by agreement.

Governments, regulated sectors, national programmes

Sovereign

The whole path under your roof: the Trainer and a local Store on your premises, your own model catalogue, models trained on your languages and environments, and a record of what is installed where. By agreement.

Prices are in US dollars, per device and per model, and Enterprise and Sovereign deployments are by agreement. Purchases are made in each product; until online checkout opens, every licence starts with a conversation.

How it scales

From one room to a whole operation.

The same path that installs one model on one board also delivers scenes to every line in a plant and every site in a network.

  1. 01One deviceA model installed from the browser.
  2. 02One roomA scene of several models, composed like a playlist.
  3. 03One lineThe same scene on every board along a line.
  4. 04A fleetInstalls across sites, each tied to its board.
  5. 05A sector or a nationThe whole path under one roof: Trainer, Store and catalogue.

What runs today

Every claim names where it runs.

Each line below is in the products today, scoped to the board or the service it applies to.

Origin

Designed in Thailand for markets worldwide.

BDH Corporation is the parent company behind BENTO. Design and engineering are headquartered in Thailand; regional hubs for markets and partners are planned around the world. BENTO is the first venture, and the company is set up to take on more.

About the company

For investors and partners

Build the sovereign edge with us.

We are building BENTO for the long term with a small number of partners. They share our view that AI should belong to the people and places that create it. If you invest in deep technology, ship devices at scale or run a national or sector AI programme, we would like to talk.
