Los Angeles — Private AI Advanced Programs
AETO is a skunkworks lab for teams who already ship. We unlock your engineers — or find the right ones — to build private AI systems that work when the cloud doesn’t, the network doesn’t, and failure isn’t an option.
Program cycles, aligned to how budgets actually move. No bureaucracy. Just telemetry, analysis, and delivery.
For teams who need to ship fast and stay audit-ready. We build CI/CD Foundation that produces SOC 2 evidence automatically. Telemetry, observability, audit trails — boring, clean, proven. From $18k, scoped after a $1,500 fixed-fee one-week infra review. This is where you start.
For teams who have Foundation. Now you need private AI, sovereign systems, analysis at the edge. This is invite-only, 2-3 programs at a time. We don’t fix pipelines here. Standard Automata already did.
On-prem, air-gapped, sovereign. Your data never leaves. Your models work offline.
We build your own RAG, evals, and agents — on your infra, under your compliance boundary. No vendor lock, no data exfiltration. The cliché, done correctly.
We come from flight test operations. Every program gets full telemetry, an analysis pipeline, and observability — because if you can't measure it, you can't field it. Your Standard Automata foundation makes this possible.
We don't replace your team. We unlock them. Senior embedded, or we find the right cleared engineers to get it done in LA. Program cycles, not open-ended staffing.
We can’t move faster than government budget cycles and procurement — and we don’t pretend to. We make each cycle count.
What is the impossible? What engineers do you have? What telemetry do you have? Your Standard Automata base gives you a head start.
Locked program, async by default, Loom and PRs, telemetry every week. One active track.
Full observability, evals, and a private runbook. Your team can run it without us.
We take 2-3 programs at a time. Based in Los Angeles.
