02 / PLATFORM
Loose on reasoning. Rigid on control.
Light is the reusable execution and governance foundation beneath the solution. It governs the actions surrounding a probabilistic model; it does not make the LLM deterministic.
The execution boundary
Keep model choice separate from authority.
Local, enterprise-hosted and frontier models can support agents. Light governs identity, authorization, scope, approval, tool access, state, audit, execution and reconciliation before those agents interact with your systems.
- Identity
- Authorization
- Scope
- Approval
- State
- Audit
- Policy
- Tool control
- Reconcile
Reasoning can be flexible. Actions need permission.
Control fields + business context
Flexible data. Unambiguous control.
Customer-specific information should not require rebuilding the whole platform. Combine known control fields, flexible business payloads, evidence, reasoning instructions and structured output.
Controlled structured fields
Authorization, routing, enforcement, thresholds and state transitions use explicit structured data. A sentence in a business document does not grant permission.
Flexible business payload
Documents, text and JSON carry domain-specific context. Keep their evidence and reasoning instructions separate from trusted control fields.
Validated output
Check structured output against the workflow contract, then apply the human or policy boundary before returning it to an existing process.
Model placement
Use the model that fits the workload.
Choose according to security, capability, performance and cost. Governance stays consistent across providers; no model is universally superior.
Local / private models
A placement option for sensitive data, subject to the organization's data controls and operating capacity.
Enterprise-hosted AI
Controlled serving and access for workloads within your enterprise platform.
Frontier APIs
An option for difficult reasoning when data policy permits the external service.
Smaller models
Evaluate focused models for classification, extraction and routine processing.
An optional infrastructure fit
Nutanix Enterprise AI + Light.
Nutanix Enterprise AI can provide the model and inference infrastructure. Light provides governance, workflow and execution integration. This is an architectural integration option, not an official endorsement, Nutanix Ready designation, partner product or joint-support claim.
