About

We help you run AI on your own terms.

Millstone AI deploys private AI for organizations that can't, or won't, send their data to someone else's servers. We work with regulated industries and software teams to put AI on infrastructure they control.

How we work

Hands-on and pragmatic. If an existing tool solves the problem, we use it. Custom development only happens when it's actually needed. We use the simplest, most repeatable system a problem allows, and add AI autonomy only when the problem truly requires it.

How we handle your data

Working in regulated industries means earning trust before access. We sign NDAs and scope data access to only what a project requires. For sensitive work, we design deployments so your data stays on your own infrastructure and never leaves your environment.

Founder & Principal

Jacob Mills

Jacob started Millstone AI to help organizations adopt AI without giving up control of their data. He's a process engineer who came to AI from regulated manufacturing, with years in aerospace and semiconductor production under NADCAP, AS9100, and ISO. That background is where the approach comes from: high-stakes, audited environments where "probably fine" isn't good enough.

He builds and runs the systems he advises on, from inference engines and RAG pipelines to model evaluation, and speaks on AI risk and governance for compliance audiences, including at HCCA conferences.

What we stand for

Your data stays yours
Everything runs on infrastructure you control. For sensitive work, your data never leaves your environment.
Measured, not hyped
We benchmark models and hardware ourselves, so every recommendation is backed by data we collected, not vendor claims.
Right-sized, not over-engineered
We use the simplest system a problem allows and add AI autonomy only when it's truly needed.
