Where does Cosine run?

Cosine can run anywhere your organisation needs it — from the fully managed Cosine Cloud to private VPC or on-premise deployments. This flexibility ensures teams in every industry, including regulated sectors, can use Cosine securely and compliantly.

Deployment options

Cosine Cloud

The fastest way to get started. Cosine Cloud is a fully managed SaaS platform hosted by Cosine, ideal for teams that want instant access without infrastructure setup.

Fully managed by Cosine
Continuous updates and monitoring
Secure, isolated workspaces for each organisation

VPC deployment

For organisations with stricter compliance requirements, Cosine can be deployed inside your virtual private cloud (AWS, Azure, or GCP). This keeps all repositories and data within your own infrastructure while still benefiting from managed updates.

Data never leaves your environment
Managed deployment and maintenance by Cosine
Ideal for finance, healthcare, and enterprise SaaS

On-premise (air-gapped)

Cosine also supports fully air-gapped, on-prem installations, where neither model weights nor data have any external connectivity. This is designed for defense, government, and critical infrastructure customers who require absolute data isolation.

Deployed on your own hardware
No external dependencies or egress
Supports custom post-training on proprietary data and languages

Security and compliance

All deployment modes follow the same security foundations:

Encryption in transit and at rest
Role-based access controls
Isolated execution environments
