Local-first AI infrastructure
Nichrome builds local-first AI infrastructure for regulated professional work — medicine and law — where the answer has to be grounded, the decision stays with a licensed human, and the sensitive data never leaves the building.
One platform: a local inference engine with a hard approval wall, grounded and cited outputs, and every model change measured before it ships.
A local inference engine on a single on-premise box. Protected data is processed only by local models on the machine and is never sent to an outside service.
The system proposes and shows its reasoning; a licensed professional approves or overrides. Nothing acts on its own. That wall is what keeps it decision support, not an autonomous system.
Every output is tied back to the source it came from, with the citation shown. Statements that can't be grounded are flagged rather than asserted.
An evaluation harness grades every engine change against held-out cases, so a model swap is a measured improvement, not a hope.
The same discipline under every product Nichrome ships.
Protected health information and privileged material stay on the premises. The architecture fails closed: anything that would send them outside is refused.
The professional makes every consequential call. The software surfaces the picture and its reasoning; the judgment is theirs.
Every recommendation shows the values, the source, and the basis behind it — auditable, not a black box.
The engine sits behind an adapter and a router, so models and prompts can change without disturbing the workflow they serve.
The same infrastructure, applied to two regulated domains where grounded, human-approved AI matters most.
An AI-native EMR for hormone and metabolic medicine. It reads a patient's labs, timing, and symptoms, proposes a protocol change with its reasoning, and records the physician's approval as the decision — never dosing on its own.
A local retrieval engine for litigation records. It answers questions with verbatim citations, shows what supports or refutes a theory, and keeps privileged material on the firm's own hardware.
