Best for
Teams that want Factory-managed operations and analytics.
Data boundary
Customer content is tenant-isolated within Factory’s managed environment.
Security and access
Enterprise Controls govern models, access, telemetry, and autonomy.
Control plane
Factory-hosted.
Droid execution
Local machines, CI/CD, computers connected through Remote Control, or Droid Computers.
Operations and updates
Factory operates the control plane. Your team operates local and CI environments.
Telemetry and analytics
Factory Analytics or OpenTelemetry export.
Run Factory inside your security boundary.
Deploy Factory in your VPC. By default, Factory runs the control plane and Droid sandboxes run in your VPC through OpenCompute, so code execution stays in your environment.
Deploy Droids in the environment that matches your security, compliance, and operating requirements without changing how your teams build software.
Factory Private
Best for
Teams with specific regulatory or policy requirements that rule out Factory Managed.
Data boundary
Code execution stays in your VPC. Model inference and session storage follow your model and data settings.
Security and access
Enterprise Controls govern models, access, telemetry, and autonomy. Your IAM, network, and security controls govern the sandbox infrastructure.
Control plane
Factory-hosted by default, with support for customer-hosted if needed.
Droid execution
Sandboxes in your VPC through OpenCompute, plus local machines and CI/CD.
Operations and updates
Your team runs the OpenCompute orchestrator and sandbox capacity. Factory runs the rest.
Telemetry and analytics
Factory telemetry and OpenTelemetry export to your collector.
Control over your development environment
Federal workflows require model independence and require customers to own their sensitive data. Factory supports flexible deployment options, including sandboxes that run inside your own VPC.
Sandboxes in your VPC
Bring your own machines
Bring your own machines
Use approved models from trusted sources
Connect Droids to self-hosted open-source models, government cloud LLM endpoints, or approved commercial providers. Factory is model-agnostic.
Deployment pattern docsFlexible deployment
Deploy where your security requires
Choose the deployment model that matches your security boundary and connectivity requirements: Factory Managed by default, or Factory Private when a specific regulatory or policy reason requires infrastructure in your VPC.
Privacy and data flowsUS-based open-source models you can bring to Factory
Factory supports open-source models deployed in the US. Deploy on your infrastructure with vLLM or TGI, or connect any model via standard APIs.
