Trusted distributed AI infrastructure
That is the question Sarv exists to answer. The Sarv Grid is a trust and orchestration layer for AI compute — designed to verify every node, isolate every workload, and account for every job. The Sarv Vault is the first hardware built for it.
Why Sarv is different
Networks that rent out spare machines are already here — and they work for jobs nobody cares about. But the valuable work of the next decade — private documents, medical notes, legal files, personal assistants — can't run on a stranger's computer on a promise. Someone has to build the layer that makes it verifiable. That's the company we're building.
Plenty of networks sell raw spare capacity. The bargain is simple: cheap power, no guarantees about whose machine runs your job or what happens to your data. Fine for rendering frames. Not fine for anything sensitive.
Every node proves what it is before it earns work. Every workload runs sealed, is wiped when done, and leaves an auditable record. Trust stops being a policy you hope for and becomes a property you can check.
Status, honestly: the trust architecture below is our engineering target, described in full on the Trust & Security page — with each claim labelled by what exists today, what's in engineering, and what the pilot must measure.
The core idea, end to end
Follow a single AI job through the Sarv Grid — from the moment it enters the network to the moment every trace of it is gone. This pipeline is the product.
The problem
They travel hundreds of miles to a warehouse of computers owned by someone else. Your questions, your photos, your private documents — processed on machines you will never see, by companies you will never meet. And those warehouses are thirsty.

What Sarv actually is
Most people meet Sarv through the Vault. But the company is the Grid — the trust, verification and orchestration technology. The Vault is simply the first machine built to carry it.
The trust and orchestration layer: attestation, workload isolation, energy-aware scheduling, zeroisation, settlement. This is the moat — and the thing no distributed-compute network has built. How the Grid works →
A small, quiet appliance for homes and businesses: private AI for its owner, verified capacity for the Grid. It proves the model end-to-end — and it must be worth owning even if it never earned a penny. Meet the Vault →
Any machine that can pass attestation could one day join — Apple Silicon, PCs, enterprise appliances. The Grid doesn't care whose box it runs on. It cares what the box can prove.
The big idea
One Vault is useful. A verified network of Vaults is infrastructure.
The Vault's first job is yours: a capable assistant designed so your documents, photos and context stay on your machine.
Nodes prove what they are; workloads run sealed and are wiped clean. Verification, not promises, is what makes strangers' computers usable.
Capacity that already exists — already paid for, already powered, roughly 94% idle — becomes useful instead of wasted.
When trusted utilisation works, owners share in what their hardware earns. A consequence of the model — never the reason for it.
Radical transparency
Sarv is a concept becoming a company. The trust architecture is an engineering target, not a shipped product; the private-AI appliance is real and buildable today; the Grid's economics are hypotheses. Every £ figure marked * is illustrative. Security claims on this site are labelled by evidence status — and the experiment that must prove them is already designed. We'd rather show you the experiment than sell you the fantasy.
