TrustGraph vs. Cloud AI Platforms

Google Vertex AI, AWS Bedrock, and Azure AI Studio provide powerful managed AI services focused on inference, model fine-tuning, and simplified integration within their cloud ecosystems. These platforms excel at rapid AI deployment with minimal operational overhead but impose constraints around data sovereignty, vendor lock-in, and infrastructure flexibility.

TrustGraph offers a fundamentally different approach:
A self-hosted, containerized agentic context stack that integrates streaming data ingestion, knowledge graph construction, vector database management, LLM orchestration, and post-training pipelines—all under your control, on any infrastructure.

Why Choose TrustGraph?

  • True Data Sovereignty: Keep your AI and data fully on premises, private clouds, or hybrid environments without constraints of cloud vendor lock-in.

  • Complete Agentic AI Stack: From data ingestion through to agent orchestration, no more stitching together multiple systems.

  • Cost Predictability: Avoid escalating per-token fees—pay only for infrastructure.

  • Open & Modular: Bring your own LLMs, vector stores, and knowledge graphs; swap components without vendor restrictions.

  • Built for Post-Training: Design AI agents that continuously learn from live data, not just rely on static pre-trained models.
