What we offer

Three things, sold together, because none of them works alone.

Most enterprise AI stalls between a model that could work and a team that never adopts it. We sell the model, the interface your people use, and the engineers who close the gap.

01

Inference

Frontier-class open-weight models, served on capacity that is yours.

  • Open weights served behind a stable endpoint, with throughput reserved for you rather than shared with whoever else is on the platform that day.
  • Today we serve from cloud GPUs outside the region. In-region hosting and deployment onto your own infrastructure are what we are building toward. We will tell you where your workload runs before you sign.
  • Priced in naira, against capacity you reserve rather than rate limits you discover in production.
02

API, CLI & Desktop Harness

The interface layer. A model is only worth what your team actually reaches for.

  • An API your engineers build against, so the models reach your own products and internal workflows.
  • A terminal agent for your engineers that reads the codebase, runs the task, and opens the pull request.
  • A desktop application for everyone else, wired into the internal systems they already work in.
  • Administered centrally: access, audit trail, and spend all visible to whoever owns the budget.
03

Forward Deployed Engineering

Our engineers embed with your team until the thing is running in production.

  • We scope the first workload alongside your people, then build it rather than specify it.
  • Evaluation harnesses from day one, so you can tell whether it works instead of hoping.
  • Hand over to your team when they're ready, or we stay on. Your call, not a retainer trap.

Reserve a deployment

NGN 1,000,000

Refundable in full, and credited against your first contract. It holds your place in the first cohort and buys the scoping session where we size the work properly.

  • A place in the first deployment cohort
  • A scoping session with the engineering team
  • First-cohort pricing, locked

Questions

The things people ask before they pay.

What am I actually reserving?

A place in our first deployment cohort, and the engineering time that comes with it. The deposit is not a purchase. It is credited in full against your first contract with us.

Is the deposit refundable?

Yes, in full, at any point before your deployment begins. Email hello@tinc.africa and we return it. We would rather you reserve while you are still deciding than not reserve at all.

Which models do you run?

▲ Open-weight models at or near the frontier, among them the Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek and Mistral families. Our job is serving them well: available, fast, and on capacity you can count on. If you want help choosing between them for a specific workload, that is forward deployed engineering rather than something inference does on its own.

Where is our data processed?

Today, on cloud GPU infrastructure outside Nigeria and outside the region. We are being direct about that because if you are subject to data residency rules under the NDPR, CBN guidance, or your own regulator, it may rule us out for production workloads right now. In-region hosting and deployment onto infrastructure you own are what we are building toward, and we will tell you plainly where you sit before you sign. We do not train on your data.

Why open weights rather than the frontier APIs?

Cost is denominated in naira instead of moving with the exchange rate. Capacity is reserved rather than rationed by someone else's rate limits. And because the weights are open, fine-tuning and eventually in-region or on-premise deployment are available to you. A hosted frontier API can offer none of that at any price.

What does it cost after the reservation?

That depends on the workload, and we would be guessing if we quoted before scoping. The reservation buys the scoping session where we size it properly and price it in writing. Whatever you have paid comes off that number.

When do deployments begin?

▲ We are onboarding the first cohort in order of reservation. You will get a date at the scoping session, and we would rather give you a real one then than an optimistic one now.

Who is this for?

Businesses and enterprises: banks, insurers, telcos, hospitals, logistics operators, and the public sector. We are not building a consumer product, and we are not the right fit for teams looking for a chat subscription.

What am I signing when I reserve?

Nothing beyond the Terms of Reservation, which you accept with the checkbox above the payment button. There is no separate document to sign and no signature to chase. The terms are short, cover refunds and where your data is processed, and are linked from the footer of every page.

We are not in Nigeria. Can we still reserve?

Yes. We are starting in Nigeria because that is where we can deploy fastest, and expanding across sub-Saharan Africa from there. Reservations from elsewhere in the region are welcome. Tell us where you are and we will be straight with you about timing.
