AlphaEdge is a French AI company that develops compact, specialised foundation models. Its product line includes AlphaDigit for document processing and OCR, AlphaAudio for speech recognition and Custom ELM, language models tailored to business processes. Organisations call them through an API, install them on their own servers or run them on devices that work offline. According to the vendor, the models are deliberately kept small to need less computing power.
AlphaEdge is a simplified joint-stock company (SAS) with its registered office in Saint-Barthélemy-d'Anjou, France. No owner outside France is named. Its privacy policy states that content submitted through the API is deleted straight after processing and that the company prefers hosting on servers inside the European Union. Customers who choose the cloud option run the models at a French partner cloud; the on-premise and edge options keep data entirely under the customer's own control. That lets a European organisation process sensitive documents and audio without handing them to a non-European provider. Ask the vendor for the exact hosting locations and contractual terms.
