Cevacode is an autonomous engineering teammate that runs fully air-gapped on your own idle GPUs. Brief tasks at 6pm; review pull requests at 9am. The beachhead is a nightly autonomous security red-team — the one workload where nothing can leave your network.
Enterprises run GPUs at ~5% utilization (Cast AI, 2026). A cluster that works 9-to-6 is dark all night and all weekend — depreciating whether it computes or not.
Regulated teams can't paste their stack into ChatGPT or a cloud agent. So the audits, upgrades, and refactors that need an AI never get done — policy forbids the tool.
“Audit the payments service for auth gaps and open PRs with fixes.” Queue it for tonight, or set it to run every night.
A local open-weight model (Kimi K3) drives the harness on your own idle GPUs. It reasons, edits, runs tests in a sandbox, and verifies fixes. Nothing leaves the network.
Each task lands as a reviewable PR with evidence attached — findings, repros, diffs, passing tests. You stay the operator: approve, don't type.
Cloud coding agents send your code out. “On-prem execution” tools still ship the reasoning to a vendor's cloud. For a bank or defense team, the sensitive part is the model inference itself. Cevacode runs it locally, so a security review has nothing to flag.
# managed cloud agent code → leaves your network model → vendor cloud # "on-prem execution" tools code → stays model → still calls the cloud # Cevacode code → stays model → your idle GPUs egress → none
Marginal cost to you is basically electricity. The idle capacity is already bought; Cevacode turns the hours you already paid for into engineering output.
The category is real and moving fast — open-source security harnesses like open·kritt prove the primitive and the demand. The open ground is running the model itself inside the customer's network, on a schedule, on hardware they already own.
