Factory launched Factory Private. It lets organizations run Factory in their own VPCs, on-premises, or air-gapped networks. Factory now offers three deployment models. Factory Managed keeps the control plane with Factory. Factory Private places the control plane and data in the customer’s environment. Factory FedRAMP targets public-sector teams and is awaiting authorization. All models share the same platform and agent capabilities. Factory Private keeps code, models, and operational data within customer infrastructure. Teams can use any model provider with Factory. NVIDIA’s Nemotron team used Factory Private for post-training work on Nemotron 3 Ultra.
