Investors — OrkinosAI & SUMOTX

What is SUMO-TX?

SUMO-TX is not a GPU training platform or hosted AI wrapper. It is a CPU-distributed, multi-node AI execution platform built natively for Microsoft Azure — enabling organisations to run governed, auditable, and cost-controlled AI workloads on their own infrastructure, with full sovereignty over data, execution, and outcomes.

🔀

Multi-Model Orchestration

One subscription unlocks 50+ Azure AI Foundry models. Run GPT-4o, Llama, Mistral, Phi-4, Sora, and more — in parallel, side-by-side.

📊

Benchmarking-as-a-Service

Independent, reproducible model evaluation across accuracy, latency, cost, hallucination, and safety — without relying on vendor self-reporting.

🧠

SUMO-TX Execution Platform

CPU-distributed, multi-node execution layer with deterministic orchestration, audit traceability, and sovereign deployment — without vendor lock-in.

Platform in Action

Beta screenshots — Q2 2026

Distributed Execution Dashboard — orchestrate AI workloads across multiple CPU nodes with explicit failure isolation and backpressure control on Microsoft Azure

Orchestration & Audit Traceability — deterministic task graph execution with full traceability, compliance replay, and controlled workflow progression

The Benchmark Flywheel — Our Defensible Moat

Investors fund flywheels. This is ours.

1

Users query multiple models

Every subscriber request runs through the orchestration engine across foundation models

↓

2

SUMOTX provisions distributed execution infrastructure

CPU node pools, storage, networking, and identity are configured within the customer's Azure subscription

↓

3

Best answers become structured dataset

High-quality (task, winning-response, reasoning trace) tuples are curated

↓

4

Execution jobs run across distributed CPU nodes

Repeatable, deterministic workload execution with full visibility into outputs and audit traces

↓

5

Better routing attracts more users

Trained models are registered and promoted across environments → enterprise trust → more subscribers

↺ Repeats — compounding advantage

No competitor can replicate this loop without the same user base. Every deployment deepens SUMOTX's sovereign AI capabilities and strengthens customer lock-in on their own infrastructure.
