Souver

What Souver does

Souver, operated by the French SAS ALPHACORP (SIREN 983 700 717, registered January 25, 2024), is a sovereign AI agent suite designed for regulated French enterprises. The product targets DSI, RSSI, and CISO personas at organizations in the CAC 40, banking, insurance, mutual organizations, healthcare (HDS), defense, and central government, where US-hosted AI tools are blocked by Cloud Act and FISA 702 exposure. The company sells a subscription-based dedicated GPU stack that serves open-weights models on infrastructure qualified by ANSSI SecNumCloud 3.2, supplied by 3DS Outscale (a Dassault Systèmes subsidiary). Headquartered in Neuilly-sur-Seine with GPU inference hosted at the 3DS Outscale data center in Saint-Cloud, France, Souver frames itself as a drop-in French alternative to Claude Code and GitHub Copilot.

The technical stack comprises three integrated layers. Souver Desktop is a native macOS/Windows Electron application exposing a CLI engine with session management, inline diff inspection, permission prompts, and sovereign mode toggling. The Backend/Orchestrator is the proprietary agent harness that routes each request to the optimal open-weights model (Kimi K2.6, DeepSeek V4 Pro/Flash, Qwen, Mistral Small, Codestral, Devstral), manages sandboxed execution at filesystem, network, and process levels, enforces tenant policies and a four-mode permission system, and emits an append-only AES-256-GCM audit journal with hash-chain WORM integrity, exportable to SIEM in CEF/LEEF format. The inference layer uses dedicated GPU machines (Medium: 1× A100 80GB or H100; Large: 2× H100; Custom cluster: H100/H200 with up to 1M-token context) on Outscale SecNumCloud. An MCP Hub connects to French SaaS tools (Pennylane, Lucca, GitLab self-hosted, Sentry) via audited, France-hosted MCP servers. Public benchmarks claim 80.2-80.6% on SWE-bench Verified (Kimi K2.6 and DeepSeek V4 Pro), within 5-7 points of Claude Opus 4.7, plus a +13.7 point Terminal-Bench 2.0 pass@1 gain from the optimized harness at identical model weights.

Souver generates revenue through annual subscription contracts for dedicated GPU machines, priced from €12,000 per month for GPU Medium (capacity ~25 simultaneous developers) up to €24,000 per month for GPU Large (~60 developers), with custom clusters quoted for 100+ developers. Souver Max, a shared GPU tier with MIG isolation, serves as a lower entry point. Custom model hosting via Hugging Face ID and the Security Agent module are add-ons. Pricing is fixed per machine with no per-token billing; annual commitment is required, and a one-click downgrade is offered if a GPU runs below 30% utilization for three consecutive weeks. The go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales anchored by a 30-minute free discovery call booked via Cal.com and direct email at [email protected]. Onboarding is delivered in under one week, including GPU provisioning, desktop deployment, DPA signing, and a security audit dossier. No revenue figures, customer logos, or funding rounds have been disclosed; the company indicates it is in POC/early-MVP stage, with its first regulated-enterprise pilot targeted for Q3 2026.

Revenue model

1. Dedicated GPU Subscription (Hardware): Organization-wide subscription to a dedicated GPU machine (non-shared) on SecNumCloud. Fixed monthly price per machine with unlimited consumption — no per-token billing. The dedicated tier includes the full sovereign certification stack (SecNumCloud, HDS, ISO 27001, DORA, NIS2, RGP, AI Act) delivered within 30 days of contract signature. Pricing tiers: GPU Medium from €12,000/month (~480 €/developer for ~25 devs), GPU Large from €24,000/month (~400 €/developer for ~60 devs), Custom cluster on quotation for 100+ developers. Annual commitment required.
2. Souver Custom Models (Add-on): Optional add-on for custom model deployment: customers provide a Hugging Face ID (public or private repo) and Souver provisions the appropriate GPU and exposes a private endpoint. Includes license/provenance scan. Only available as an add-on to the custom cluster tier.
3. Souver Max (Shared GPU, Electron App): Shared GPU subscription (Souver Max) with mutualized GPU capacity and MIG-based isolation (non-mixed data, shared pool). Electron desktop app included. Lower entry point than dedicated GPU for smaller teams or non-regulated use cases. Clean-room policy and DPA still apply.

Core offering

Souver provides a sovereign AI coding agent suite for regulated French enterprises, combining open-weights foundation models served on SecNumCloud 3.2-qualified GPU infrastructure (3DS Outscale, France) with a proprietary multi-model agent harness, a native macOS/Windows desktop application, and an append-only audit trail. The product is sold as dedicated or shared GPU subscriptions (annual commitment) targeting DSI, RSSI, and CISO buyers at banks, insurers, healthcare, defense, and central government organizations that cannot use US-hosted AI tools due to Cloud Act and FISA 702 exposure.

Product overview

Souver is a sovereign AI suite for regulated French enterprises, consisting of three integrated layers: (1) Souver Desktop — a native macOS/Windows Electron application providing the developer-facing work surface with session management, inline diff inspection, permission prompts, and model selection; (2) the Backend/Orchestrator — the agent orchestrator and multi-model harness that routes tasks to the best open-weights model, manages sandboxed execution, permissions, audit trails, and the admin console; and (3) Inference Infrastructure — dedicated GPU tiers (GPU Medium at €12,000/month, GPU Large at €24,000/month, and Cluster sur mesure by quote) served on 3DS Outscale SecNumCloud 3.2 in France. The stack also includes an MCP Hub for connecting to SaaS tools, a Security Agent module, a Mobile Remote Control app, and Souver Max as a shared GPU alternative. The CLI engine serves as the runtime powering Desktop and standalone use. No proprietary US-based LLM APIs are in the production perimeter.

Partnerships

One partnership is on record.

• 3DS Outscale SAScoreTechnology or Integration3DS Outscale (subsidiary of Dassault Systèmes, French company) provides all GPU inference infrastructure for Souver, qualified SecNumCloud 3.2 by ANSSI. Souver downloads and serves open-weights models directly on 3DS Outscale GPUs using vLLM/SGLang. This is the foundational infrastructure partnership: without SecNumCloud-qualified GPU hosting, Souver cannot serve regulated French enterprises. 3DS Outscale provides immunity from Cloud Act and FISA 702 by virtue of being 100% French-incorporated with no US shareholders.
