Exact-route model access
Select the deployed model and route explicitly. API-key policy limits which privacy tiers each team can use.

One inference control plane for software, technical-document, and engineering workflows that cannot be sent indiscriminately to global AI services. Use live Canadian-residency routes today, with dedicated sovereign hardware planned for workloads that require a tighter jurisdictional boundary.
Northern Inference sits between an organization and the models it approves. The model ID is the route contract. Canadian routes fail closed instead of silently leaving the selected geography.
Select the deployed model and route explicitly. API-key policy limits which privacy tiers each team can use.
Live Tier 3 routes keep the Northern Inference-controlled path and selected provider region in Canada. Provider evidence governs execution inside the provider.
Inspect the selected route, provider, region, jurisdiction, credential source, and data-handling posture for each request.
Use OpenAI-compatible or Anthropic-compatible endpoints without rebuilding the application around a new proprietary interface.
Prompts and responses are processed in flight and are not retained by default. Operational metadata is retained. Content capture is prohibited for controlled goods and CPCSC specified information.
Planned for workloads requiring additional isolation and control.
The platform supports the AI access layer. Customers choose and validate models for their own technical, safety, and mission requirements.
Coding assistance, defect review, security analysis, documentation, and repository-scale research.
Summarization, comparison, extraction, research, and question answering across approved technical material.
Model-assisted workflows that call approved tools under customer-defined access, review, and validation controls.
Live, in-progress, and planned capabilities are labelled clearly.
Canadian industrial participation
Northern Inference can be evaluated by prime contractors as a Canadian source of AI software, engineering, operations, and planned sovereign compute capacity.
Whether a purchase or investment receives Industrial and Technological Benefits credit, and the resulting Canadian Content Value, is determined under the applicable defence contract by the ITB Authority. Northern Inference does not represent itself as ITB-approved or guarantee transaction credit. Review the Government of Canada ITB program.
