Danu provides secure and private SLMs deployed in a ringfenced on-shore environment.
SLMs unlock the transformative power of AI
using your most valuable data,
with absolute security and control
DANU’s ringfenced SLMs provide a dedicated, private AI engine, fine-tuned on proprietary information and
operating exclusively within your secure perimeter on UK shores.
Combating Hallucinations with Vectorisation
At Danu, we’re tackling AI hallucinations head-on. Our machine learning models (SMLs) use vectorisation to enable Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).
This technique converts your query into a vector, which is then used to search our extensive, fact-checked vector database. This database acts as a reliable knowledge base, grounding the model’s response in real-world information rather than pure prediction. By retrieving and incorporating verified data, our LLMs are far less likely to “guess” or invent inaccurate details.
While no single method is a complete fix, research from a 2024 Stanford study shows that combining RAG with other strategies, like RLHF and guardrails, can reduce hallucinations by up to 96%. We are committed to using a multi-pronged approach to ensure our AI remains accurate and trustworthy.

Intelligence you can trust.
Developing domestic AI capabilities is a matter of strategic prudence, safeguarding our national data and ensuring operational continuity without reliance on external providers.
On-shore AI models allow the United Kingdom to cultivate its own technological expertise and infrastructure, which is vital for long-term economic strength and innovation. This approach ensures that the AI systems integral to our public services and industries align with British regulations and ethical standards.
Intelligence you can trust.
Running large language models within our own borders and under our own control is fundamental to protecting national sovereignty by ensuring our nation’s sensitive data is not subject to foreign laws or intelligence gathering.
This on-shore, ring-fenced approach prevents reliance on international supply chains for a critical technology, mitigating the risk of disruption from geopolitical instability or the commercial decisions of external corporations.
Furthermore, it guarantees that the AI shaping our public services and economy operates on our terms, aligned with UK legal frameworks and ethical considerations, thus preserving our autonomous decision-making capability.
Intelligence you can trust.
By hosting LLMs domestically, organisations significantly reduce data latency, which allows for faster application performance and more immediate results from queries. This approach also streamlines procurement and compliance, saving considerable time and legal resources that would otherwise be spent navigating complex international data transfer agreements.
Ultimately, this frees up internal teams to focus on core activities and innovation, rather than managing the intricacies and potential risks of a global supply chain for a critical technology.
Intelligence you can trust.
The resulting gains in productivity are realised directly through faster and more reliable AI interactions, enabling employees to execute tasks and analyse data with greater speed and precision. This efficiency scales across an entire organisation, fostering a more agile operational environment where data-driven decisions can be made more swiftly.
Over time, this sustained increase in output allows for the reallocation of human capital towards higher-value strategic initiatives, driving innovation rather than merely managing processes.
