Guide — Updated August 2026
How Foundry Local runs private, sovereign, and disconnected AI on your own hardware.
Running AI on your own hardware — including air-gapped — has a specific architecture. This guide explains Foundry Local.
This guide explains Foundry Local on Azure Local: on-prem, edge, and disconnected (air-gapped) inference with the default ONNX-GenAI engine and a vLLM runtime for GPU serving, multi-node Kubernetes, multi-GPU model parallelism (tensor_parallel_size and pipeline_parallel_size), the automatic GPU inference planner, model caching, and inference-aware routing without outbound internet — for private and sovereign AI.
