Compute add-ons

Compute is optional and separate.

Governance and evidence generation work with customer-provided compute. Choose the execution model that matches your security posture and throughput needs.

Compute pricing (optional): Customer-managed: $0. Self-hosted control plane: low five figures / year. Managed cloud: starts at low five figures / year, plus usage.

Customer-managed: $0

Customer compute

Run on your existing GPU/CPU fleet. Helix supplies verified builds, reproducibility receipts, and integration guidance.

Self-hosted control plane: low five figures / year

Self hosted

Deploy inside your VPC or on-prem. Best for regulated environments requiring full control over data egress and runtime profiles.

Starts at low five figures / year, plus usage

Managed cloud

Managed runs with an included allowance and metered overage after allowance. Use when you want throughput without standing up infra.

Add-ons

Auditability, diffing, and evidence export are included in every Governance License tier.

Support

  • Standard support
  • Premium SLA

Integrations

  • ELN / LIMS integration
  • SSO
  • Data export automation

Validation Pack

  • Locked images

  • Release attestation bundle

Helix CLI is free for inspection

CLI is free for inspection. Licensed for mutation. Use it to verify, replay, diff, and inspect evidence bundles offline. Publishing new decisions, policy-gated execution, committing governance state, and authenticated managed compute require an active Edit Program license.
