Sovereign AI, in plain English

How much infrastructure does sovereign AI actually need?

Sovereignty starts with a deployable model and hardware control—not megawatts. One server can support useful private inference. UNICANN's primary audience is AI and enterprise buyers evaluating a fully converted U.S. cannabis cultivation facility with a 1.5–5 MW post-conversion facility input at the service point, for sustained multi-rack demand. Owners of powered facilities can explore the owner path.

Vendor-hosted model: the provider supplies the compute and power.

Deployable model: you choose where the controlled hardware runs.

Find the right scale

A model can start in kilowatts. A business can grow into megawatts.

UNICANN's primary audience is AI and enterprise buyers assessing a 1.5–5 MW post-conversion facility-input target at the service point. Megawatts are not required to run your first model; they matter when sustained demand becomes an infrastructure operation. Owners of powered cultivation facilities can explore the owner path.

SCALE / 01

≈15 kW

One server

Private inference, evaluation, or an early production workload

Equipment nameplate only—the room also needs supporting power and cooling.

SCALE / 02

60–230 kW

One production rack

A dense dedicated cluster with rack networking and storage

Equipment range depends on the selected vendor architecture.

SCALE / 03

1.5–5 MW

Dedicated node

Many racks, support systems, operating margin, and resilience

Post-conversion whole-facility input at the service point—not the power draw of one model.

Decision point

Do you already have a sustained multi-rack workload?

If not, start with cloud or a ready colocation rack. If yes—and model rights and control requirements are documented—use the advanced planner to test a specific site.

Evaluate the buyer’s need first

Planning scale only. Equipment nameplate, utility-deliverable power, and whole-facility draw are different measurements.
