Local Ollama and offline runtime trust for sovereign AI

Run risk scoring with Ollama on-device, fall back to heuristics when disconnected — policies and audit without sending actions to the cloud.

May 8, 20266 min read

Sovereign AI means data and decisions stay on your hardware. Ollama runs local risk models; Sanctum falls back to offline heuristics when the network drops — policies and audit still work.

Stack

  • Sanctum Runtime API on edge or laptop
  • Ollama (e.g. qwen2.5) for semantic risk scoring
  • Heuristic floor when model unavailable
  • FORCE_OFFLINE_MODE for drills and air-gapped labs

Who benefits

Robotics in warehouses, defense edge, healthcare on-prem, and developers who refuse to send action metadata to third-party clouds.
