Built for one thing.

Production AI models. At a scale that doesn't ask you to compromise.

Frontier is centred around the RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell - 96GB of ECC GDDR7 memory and 1.8 TB/s of bandwidth. That's enough to full fine-tune a 70B parameter model, and headroom to run 120B MoE models that most local hardware simply can't load.

Pair that with a 96-core Threadripper PRO and 256GB of ECC system memory, and you have a machine that handles production training workloads without negotiating with its own spec.

    Production inference

    The models that push the boundary of what's openly available. Running 19 tok/s, 71 tok/s across 4 concurrent on 70B model

    Fine-tuning at scale

    Full fine-tune on 70B. Distributed-ready. The kind of training work that usually requires a cloud contract.

    Private by default

    Running on hardware that belongs to you means no usage limits, no data leaving your network, and no bill at the end of the month.

Capability

Built for your workload

At its heart is the RTX PRO 6000 Max-Q Workstation Edition — 96 gigabytes of ECC GDDR7 memory at 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth, in a 300-watt power envelope deliberately tuned to live in an office, not a server room. Every byte of the VRAM, every byte of the bandwidth, none of the noise.

A deliberate decision. Not a compromise.

The Max-Q variant of the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell is the same silicon as the 600-watt full-fat card — same 96GB ECC VRAM, same 1.79 TB/s bandwidth, same fifth-generation Tensor Cores. It runs at 300W instead of 600W. That decision shapes what Frontier is.

Identical memory. Identical bandwidth.

Where it matters for LLMs — the things that decide whether a 70B model fits and how fast it runs — the Max-Q is the full card. 96GB ECC GDDR7. 1.79 TB/s bandwidth. None of that changes.

Real-world inference loss: 15–20%.

The lower TDP costs you on sustained peak compute — but LLM inference is bandwidth-bound, not compute-bound. Real-world Llama 70B throughput is within fifteen to twenty percent of the 600W card, in a chassis you can actually live with.

Deskside thermals.

At 300W, Frontier runs in a standard tower chassis with conventional cooling. No 1600W datacentre PSU, no rack, no liquid cooling loop.  It sits where your team sits.

Quieter. Cooler. Lower power bill.

Three hundred watts of GPU plus a Threadripper is still a serious load, but it's a load that runs at office-noise levels and pulls within a single 13-amp socket's headroom. The Frontier is a workstation. Not a server pretending to be one.

Scale with speed

Your whole team, running simultaneously, getting instant responses.

On a 14 billion parameter model, Chillblast Synapse Frontier delivers 790 tokens per second across 32 concurrent requests. Aggregate throughput scales with every user you add.

How you'll use it

A model that knows your business

Foundation models know almost nothing about you. For good reason.

Every prompt leaves the building, and every experiment has a cost attached. Synapse Frontier is built for the point where that stops making sense.

Your models run locally, privately, on hardware you own. No dependency on a service that can change its pricing tomorrow.

Data sovereignity

Every inference call, every training run, every fine-tune checkpoint processed and stored on hardware inside your network perimeter.

Your model weights don't touch a third-party GPU. Your training data doesn't transit a cloud region. Your prompts aren't logged by a provider whose retention policy you don't control.

No data processor agreements. No third-party sub-processors. No exposure.

    Data agents

    Production-grade data intelligence at scale: complex pipelines, real-time insight, and automated reporting running on hardware you own.

    Employee agents

    A 120B model trained on everything your organisation knows, serving your entire team in parallel, at quality that replaces the frontier APIs you're currently paying for.

    Security agents

    A production model running end-to-end threat detection, response, and resilience monitoring, entirely air-gapped, entirely in your control.

    Customer agents

    A production inference endpoint handling customer requests at scale, surfacing trends in real time, with no external API in your critical path.

    Development agents

    A fully fine-tuned 70B model that knows your entire stack, your conventions, and your standards — generation, review, and documentation at production speed.

    Creative agents

    A production creative pipeline — text, image, and multimodal generation, running entirely on your infrastructure, at the scale and speed your team demands.

When AI is in your product. It changes the unit economics.

Frontier is the workstation that moves AI from operating expense to capital asset. For teams shipping AI features inside a product, the difference compounds with every customer.

Typical Frontier operator
A small AI product team, or an in-house ML platform group, serving inference into a product, fine-tuning models, running R&D. Currently renting cloud GPUs and paying API spend on top.
Production inference on cloud 2x H100-equivalent, 24/7 32,900 / year
API spend for non-production work Team usage of Claude / GPT £24,000 / year
Cloud GPU for fine-tuning runs ~400 hours / month £9,100 / year
Total annual spend Frontier displaces £66,000 / year

Frontier payback in this scenario: ~7 months.

For teams running heavy 24/7 production inference, payback can be as short as 5 months. After that, the cost of every inference call your product makes drops to electricity — and you own the infrastructure outright.

%%Background_Image_Alt_Text%%
Private as a fundamental

Yours alone

Most AI work happens on borrowed infrastructure. Every prompt leaves the building, and every experiment has a cost attached.

Frontier is built for the point where that stops making sense.

Your models run locally, privately, on hardware you own. No dependency on a service that can change its pricing tomorrow.

Deliberate throughout

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q delivers a massive 1.79 TB/s of memory bandwidth to the GPU. But a bottleneck anywhere else in the system costs you inference performance just as surely—CPU memory bandwidth starving the data pipeline, NVMe throughput limiting model load times, or system RAM constraining batch size.

Every component in Frontier was specified against the same workload: sustained, concurrent, 70B-class inference. From the 64-core Threadripper 9980X and 256GB of ECC RDIMM to the PCIe 5.0 throughput of the Samsung 9100 PRO drives, nothing in the system is the weak link.

Graphics card RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell
Almost everything about AI performance comes down to a specialist graphics card. How large a model you can run. How fast it generates. Whether a training run that takes days arrives at the end intact. The RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell carries 96GB of ECC GDDR7 memory - enough to full fine-tune 70B parameter models at full precision, with error-correction built in as standard.
Speed 1.8 TB/s of memory bandwidth
Inference speed for large models is almost entirely a function of how quickly the GPU moves model weights into position. The RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell delivers 1.8 TB/s of memory bandwidth
Memory 256GB of DDR5-6400 ECC
Model weights live on the GPU. Everything around them — datasets, preprocessing pipelines, the orchestration layer that holds a multi-agent system together — runs through system memory. The Frontier ships with 256GB of DDR5-6400 ECC RDIMM across eight 32GB modules. None of it becomes a bottleneck.
Processor Threadripper PRO 9995WX
The Threadripper PRO 9995WX handles everything the GPU doesn't — data loading, tokenisation, the preprocessing work that sits upstream of every training run. Ninety-six cores, WRX90 platform. Fast enough that the GPU is never waiting.
Storage Dual model and OS drives
A RAID-0 scratch array across two Samsung 9100 Pro 8TB drives for model storage, alongside a Samsung 9100 Pro 2TB OS drive. Room for a production library of models, datasets, and checkpoints, with space to spare.

Errors caught before they reach your model

Error-correcting memory built for model training that can't afford to fail.

Silent memory errors aren't caught by consumer hardware, and can invalidate a result without warning. You won't know until it's too late.

Error-correcting memory detects and corrects single-bit errors in real time. Every byte that passes through is checked, and every error is fixed. Automatically. In real time.

Space reserved for your models

Your models and your system each get a dedicated drive. Fast storage where it matters, headroom where you need it, and nothing competing for bandwidth.

    OS drive

    Keeps the system fast. The Samsung 9100 Pro 2TB means applications load instantly and pipelines initialise without delay — nothing stealing bandwidth from your models.

    Model drive

    A dedicated RAID-0 array across two Samsung 9100 Pro 8TB drives for your models, datasets, and checkpoints. A 70B model at full precision occupies around 140GB. Room for a production library, with headroom to grow.

Supporting your configuration

Choosing the right AI infrastructure is a technical decision. Our team understands the workloads, the models, and the tradeoffs, and can help you get from first question to running inference, without the guesswork.

    There when you need it

    When hardware is part of your production stack, downtime has a number attached to it.

    Hand-built and manually tested

    Every Frontier is burned in and benchmarked by our engineers before it leaves us. It arrives ready to get to work.

    Not sure where to start?

    Speak to us before you configure. No obligation - just a conversation about whether the Frontier is the right tool for what you're building.

Configuration support service

Getting a workstation running is one thing. Getting it running the right models, configured for your team's workflows, with inference serving that's ready for production is another.

Our setup service covers the full stack. You tell us what you need to run. We make sure it runs.

Find the right machine for your team

Three machines, one architecture. Node for the individual operator who needs serious local inference. Nexus for the team that needs shared infrastructure at scale. Frontier for the team shipping AI into production.

The right one depends on the models you need to run, the concurrency you need to support, and the workloads you can't afford to send to the cloud.
