# One deployment, three places to run it.

Furcate is the open base. Run it on your own machines, on dedicated Metal, or let Praecise operate it. Praecise handles the operation in the background, and the Cloud section of Praecise Spaces shows releases, environment and logs for each project.

In short

Platform engineers run one deployment on Furcate machines they own, on dedicated Metal or managed on Cloud, with the Cloud section of Praecise Spaces showing releases, environment and logs for each project. Praecise handles the operation. Start from the open Furcate repository.

## At a glance.

Open

### The base is public.

github.com/furcateresearch/furcate is Apache-2.0.

Live

### Praecise runs on it.

Praecise Cloud runs on Furcate, on servers Praecise operates.

One place

### The Cloud section of Praecise Spaces shows each project.

Releases, environment and logs for each project, with access granted project by project.

## What Praecise handles.

6

### Place a site

Source in, running release out.

Praecise builds the folder or export and places the release behind the edge.

### Check and reverse

Known states, both directions.

A release is checked before it takes traffic, recent releases are kept, and any one can be served again.

### Manage settings

Kept out of releases.

Environment settings are kept beside the site and survive a redeploy.

### Run models locally

Weights verified before they run.

A model can be served on a machine you own behind an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, with its weights verified against the source before they run.

### Track certificates

State and expiry.

Certificates are issued on demand, and their state and expiry are tracked.

### Read the Cloud section of Praecise Spaces

Releases, environment and logs per project.

The Cloud section of Praecise Spaces shows each project, and access is granted project by project.

## Three places, same deployment.

3

Your machines

### Furcate on hardware you own.

A headless Linux system runs on each machine, from a rack server to a single-board computer. Furcate is Linux only.

Praecise Metal

### Dedicated servers and GPU nodes.

Praecise operates the machines, measured and placed, and they are yours to run.

Praecise Cloud

### Operated for you.

Hand the workload over and Praecise runs it. The deployment is the same.

## Start from the open base.

3

Read

### The source is public.

github.com/furcateresearch/furcate is Apache-2.0, and its README tracks what runs on hardware today.

Run

### Your machines, Metal or managed.

The same deployment runs in all three places, and Praecise operates it where you ask.

Note

### Local models are being verified.

The guided local-model path is being verified on a Raspberry Pi 5.

## Authority stays with the operator.

3

Policy

### Deny by default.

Policy is a file you keep. Deny beats allow. Halting, powering down, isolating and erasing a machine are the operator's alone.

Machines

### Signed updates, owner-held identity.

Furcate replaces a signed image and refuses an unsigned or tampered update. A node's identity is a key made by the machine's own hardware root of trust.

Claims

### Trust claims you can read.

Identity, attestation, policy and the kill switch are in the open repository, and the default build compiles them alone.

## Operator work.

6

### Declare a site and roll it out

Place a site, check health, and keep recent releases to return to.

### Stand up a private model endpoint

Serve weights on a machine you own, behind an OpenAI-compatible URL.

### Move a workload between places

Take the same deployment from your machines to dedicated Metal or to managed Cloud.

### Read what changed

Releases, environment and logs are shown for each project in the Cloud section of Praecise Spaces.

### Grant a team access per project

Access is granted project by project in the Cloud section of Praecise Spaces.

### Run an agent platform on your hardware

Harness and Engine are open, and Furcate runs underneath.
