Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about ZylForge OS, licensing, AI keys, and CAD connectors.

What is ZylForge OS?

ZylForge OS is the world's first AI-orchestrated physical engineering operating system combining non-authoritative AI proposals with deterministic CAD/CAM validation kernels.

What do I need to pay for to run ZylForge?

ZylForge offers a Free Community Sandbox. For paid tiers, Pro Professional costs $49/month and Enterprise On-Premises costs $499/month. You provide your own AI API keys (Anthropic, OpenAI, or Gemini) or run local offline LLMs via vLLM.

How does ZylForge Academy work for universities?

ZylForge Academy introduces 4 instructor-controlled assist levels (Level 0 Manual to Level 3 Full Assist) so students cannot submit passing capstone projects without mastering foundational engineering principles.

Does ZylForge support Oil & Gas ISO standards?

Yes! We natively integrate ISO 3834-2 fusion welding quality, ISO 15614 WPS/PQR, ISO 5817 Level B imperfections, API 6A pressure vessels, and 100% NDT inspection schedules.

Can ZylForge run completely air-gapped without internet?

Yes. In Enterprise On-Premises mode, ZylForge runs inside air-gapped Kubernetes clusters with HashiCorp Vault secrets, local AES-256 Merkle release keys, and private DeepSeek R1 / Qwen 2.5 Coder open-weights LLMs.
