What is a self‑adapting LLM (in practice)?

A self‑adapting LLM is a locally deployed model that is (1) custom‑trained on your data; (2) continuously improved with operator feedback and new examples; and (3) run completely inside your network—often air‑gapped—so no external transmission occurs. It is not a generic cloud chatbot; it is a sovereign model tied to your case files, rules, and reporting templates.

Why on‑prem matters: Inteliate’s deployments are engineered for regulated work: Disconnected from internet, Full User Rights (RBAC), End‑to‑End Encryption, Full/immutable Activity Logs, and an optional “in‑a‑box” appliance for restricted sites.

Why this is a perfect fit for Inteliate

  1. Matched architecture. Inteliate’s base stack—A.I. Knowledge Bases + A.I. Case Management + drag’n’drop Fusion + 1‑click Reports—already unifies files and database exports into one organised & unified database. A self‑adapting LLM sits on the same rails, learning from that corpus safely on‑prem.

  2. Proven model lifecycle. Inteliate delivers a measured loop—Data Collection → Preparation → Training → Evaluation → Deployment → Retraining—so the model keeps improving with operator feedback and fresh data.

  3. Security‑critical by default. Deploy offline with zero external transmission, RBAC, encryption, and immutable logs; evidence packs and reports remain within your jurisdiction.

  4. Uses what you already have. Integrates with existing infrastructure; no need to build connectors to start because automated fusion ingests “anything” via drag‑and‑drop and hot folders.


Technical architecture (how it actually works)


1) Data & ingestion layer

  • Drag‑and‑drop PDFs, emails, spreadsheets, exports, and tables; the platform normalises, de‑duplicates, and resolves entities into a single schema.

  • Sources become a unified case database for search, link maps, and reporting—all on‑prem.

2) Knowledge & case layer

  • A.I. Knowledge Bases + Case Management expose the corpus to investigators and compliance teams with 1‑click reports for consistent outputs.

3) Model layer (self‑adapting LLM)

  • Custom‑trained on your corpus (industry terms, report styles, local languages).

  • Policy‑constrained outputs (e.g., SAR/STR templates, incident summaries) generated offline.

4) Guardrails & governance

  • RBAC down to case/function level, E2E encryption, immutable audit logs, disconnected from internet optional.

5) Continuous improvement (offline MLOps)

  • The six‑step lifecycle runs inside your environment. You set evaluation metrics; operator corrections feed the retraining loop so accuracy doesn’t stagnate.


The self‑adapting lifecycle (Inteliate’s measured loop)


  1. Data Collection – Gather documents, tables, rules, and sample answers from your domain.

  2. Preparation – Clean, normalise, and de‑duplicate; map entities.

  3. Training / Adaptation – Tune to your terminology, formats, and languages.

  4. Evaluation – Check precision/recall and task‑specific metrics you define.

  5. Deployment – Install on your infrastructure; integrate with the base platform.

  6. Retraining – Feed new examples and operator feedback to keep pace with change.



Inteliate routinely creates/adapts models in weeks and adds them to the platform in days, then keeps improving them on‑prem with retraining cycles.

Where a self‑adapting LLM pays off (by industry)


Law enforcement & intelligence – Draft intelligence summaries from mixed files; search video by description (“man in a red jumper near a red car”) and attach audit‑ready reports. Vehicle trajectories and OSINT assist sit alongside the LLM in the same case hub.

AML/KYC & FinCrime – Compose SAR/STR narratives offline from transactions, KYC packs, sanctions/PEP/adverse media; control cost by adding only the databases you need.

Airports & aviation – Keep passenger and cargo data inside the perimeter; pair the LLM (briefings, evidence notes) with the airport model suite (illicit‑item detection, declaration reconciliation, CCTV analytics).

Customs & ports – Use the LLM to generate image‑backed seizure/evasion narratives after the X‑ray layer counts and compares vs. declarations (Green/Amber/Red). Projects show 80–90% manual‑work reduction in X‑ray triage; your LLM turns those results into evidence packs.

Insurance & SIU – Summarise claims files, flag gaps, and standardise outputs with 1‑click

reports—on‑prem, with Full Audit Logs.


Playbook


UAE, KSA, Qatar (GCC). Operate air‑gapped if required; deploy as “in‑a‑box”; integrate with existing CCTV/X‑ray/records; all actions fully logged.

UK & EU. Sovereign processing supports GDPR‑aligned operations: no cloud, no data leaves your system, RBAC, encryption, and immutable logs.

SE Asia (ports & free‑zones). Pair the LLM with declaration↔X‑ray reconciliation; export evidence with pictures & counts for revenue and legal teams.

US public safety & banks. Combine search‑by‑description CCTV, risk scoring & alert prioritisation, and 1‑click SAR/STR—all on‑prem.


How to measure success


  • T_ingest → T_answer: first file drop → first useful draft (mins). Expect major cuts with drag‑and‑drop fusion + domain LLM.

  • Draft quality (editor effort): redlines per 1,000 words before/after retraining. (Evaluation step.)

  • Report TAT: case ready → 1‑click export.

  • Audit completeness: presence of RBAC + immutable logs on every export.

  • Cost control (KYC): % checks run using only necessary databases.


Buyer checklist


  • Deployment: on‑prem & offline; optional air‑gapped; “in‑a‑box” form factor.

  • Security: RBAC, E2E encryption, Full/immutable Activity Logs.

  • Data layer: drag’n’drop Fusion; no mandatory connectors to start; single unified case database.

  • Applications: A.I. Knowledge Bases, A.I. Case Management, 1‑click Reports.

  • Model lifecycle: Data Collection → Preparation → Training → Evaluation → Deployment → Retraining documented and run on‑prem.

  • Ownership/sovereignty: Your data stays yours; Inteliate’s pre‑existing models licensed for on‑prem use.


Implementation timeline (what to expect)


  • Weeks: create/train or adapt the domain LLM.

  • Days: integrate into the Inteliate platform and install on your servers (or the appliance).

  • Ongoing: scheduled retraining from operator feedback and new data—entirely on‑prem.


Short answer: A self‑adapting language model (LLM) installed on‑premises learns from your documents, users, and outcomes-offline, with role‑based access, end‑to‑end encryption, and immutable audit logs. It fits Inteliate perfectly because the base platform already provides drag‑and‑drop ingestion, A.I. Knowledge Bases, a single unified case database, and 1‑click reports, plus a measured six‑step lifecycle for training → evaluation → retraining on your infrastructure.
