  • The alliance merges H2O.ai’s Agentic AI capabilities with xAmplify’s proven delivery of secure, compliant AI transformations.
  • Focus areas include data ownership, on-prem/private cloud/air-gapped deployments, and fine-tuned LLMs for specific use cases.
  • Partnership supports scaling from AI pilots to production while meeting strict sovereignty, security, and explainability requirements.
  • xAmplify’s Macquarie Capital-backed expansion and recent acquisitions enhance local enterprise transformation capabilities.
  • Australian organizations gain trusted local support to confidently implement production-ready AI with full control over data and models.

This strategic partnership addresses the growing need for sovereign AI solutions in highly regulated environments. Australian government agencies and enterprises face complex mandates around data privacy, digital sovereignty, and operational transparency. By integrating H2O.ai’s end-to-end Agentic AI platform with xAmplify’s regional expertise, the collaboration enables secure, scalable deployments that extend AI adoption beyond data science teams into broader business operations.

Wayne Gowland, CEO and Co-founder of xAmplify: "Australian organisations are moving beyond AI pilots to production deployments that must meet rigorous sovereignty, security, and explainability standards. Our partnership with H2O.ai brings together world-leading AI technology with xAmplify's proven delivery expertise to help government and enterprise clients confidently transform operations while maintaining complete control over their data and models. This is about delivering practical AI outcomes with partners who understand the Australian context."

Enabling Sovereign and Explainable AI at Scale

The partnership empowers organizations to own their data, models, and infrastructure while deploying AI in on-premise, private cloud, or fully air-gapped settings. It supports fine-tuning of large language models for targeted use cases and establishes governance frameworks that ensure transparency and explainability throughout AI workflows.

This approach bridges the gap between experimentation and measurable business value, particularly for public sector entities and enterprises requiring the highest levels of compliance and control. With xAmplify’s deep experience serving Australian Government agencies and enterprise customers, combined with H2O.ai’s focus on sovereign, infrastructure-flexible AI, the partnership positions ANZ organizations to accelerate responsible AI transformation.

H2O.ai continues to lead in democratizing AI through agentic solutions that converge generative and predictive capabilities, delivering purpose-built applications on private data while upholding stringent privacy and sovereignty standards.
